Exactly what are 6th Living Target and {DFM}Grim looking at so smugly?

Fraggin' in the BYOC, back-to-back.
The heart of the BYOC, the NOC . . . source of endless amplified patter. (Note to self: Bring noise-cancelling headphones next year!)
Contrary to appearance, this liquid-cooled rig does not run on Bawls.
If you think this looks kewl in the picture taken with the flash . . .
. . . Check it out in the dark!
Nice paint job . . .
. . . And the other side is even kewler!
Clear acrylic case with lots of Bawls . . .
. . . And here is how it looked with the lights out in the BYOC.
More hardware at the BYOC.
Checking out the demos at the nVidia booth . . .
. . . And engineering samples of the Athlon 64 at the AMD booth.
Chinatown in a case-mod.
The obligatory banner-in-the-BYOC shot.
Another random BYOC picture.
Prepping for the CTF finals in the Grand Ballroom.
End of the CTF Finals, Game One . . . Cloud9 - 3; 519 - 0
The second game was a little closer, scoreless at the end of 20 minutes.
519 scored with seconds left in the 10 minute overtime to win the second game.
Cloud9 won the final game and the CTF Final, scoring halfway into the 10 minute overtime. GGZ!
Trophies and prize money for the CTF, 1v1, and RTCW tournies. The chairs were not part of the prize package. :)
6th Living Target and {DFM}Grim enjoyed the CTF Finals but are ready for some swag, food, and beer!
A Quake Girl obliges with some swag.
More Quake Girls and more swag.
{DFM}Ic3-IX goes for the Quake Girl with the Bawls while 6th Living Target seems content with just the Bawls.
{DFM}Ic3-IX gets some more swag for his very own.
The 1v1 Finals . . . Z4muz vs. ZeRo4
ZeRo4 wins, 15-4!
The RTCW Finals . . . zZzZz . . . Sorry. :(
Bring on the free beer and food!
The free beer station is open for business.
All you can drink, free beer . . . W00t!
They even brought the food to you. I could get used to this!
The RTCW Finals in progress . . . zZzZz . . . Sorry again. :(
You have to stay caffeinated to maintain maximum fraggin' performance.
When you aren't fraggin', you have energy to work on public art.
The masterpiece, almost complete.
A liquid-cooled gaming rig in the BYOC . . .
. . . Not only does it run cool, it looks kewl!
A case-modded PC made from a four-foot child's coffin.
This guy sat next to me in the BYOC. He mostly played UT2k3 but he seemed to know quite a bit about Quake 3 also. ;)
This is Fatal1ty's gaming rig.
The Breakfast Club sat two rows behind us. Left to right: [B]Coca-Cola, [B]DiNk, and hL/.Pr1me/.
[B]Coca-Cola asleep at the wheel. :)
It's Sunday morning and {DFM}Ic3-IX starts breaking down his system to take it home.
Still lots of computers but not many people around.
Finally, some table space opens up in the BYOC.
Here's a motley crew . . .
Left to right: [B]DiNk, hL/.Pr1me/., {DFM}Grim, [B]Coca-Cola, {DFM}Ic3-IX, and 6th Living Target
Did I mention we drank a lot of Bawls in four days? :)
