For the first time ever PDXLAN will host the “Battle Stations” contest. The Battle stations contest is all about making your seat and table space at the LAN look amazing. Be it Christmas lights, sound activated mood lighting, Monster can holder, or a special way of configuring your PDXLAN seat and table space to look like the ultimate gaming station at the LAN.
Groups are also encouraged to take part in this. Maybe your group strings Christmas lights over their computers by way of a 6-foot pole anchored to the tables. Maybe your group has custom flags or battle standards.
To help you start planning, make sure that anything you plug in doesn’t go over your power rating per seat. Also make sure that you don’t annoy your neighbor with lights as bright as the Sun.
Bragging rights are on the line. Who’s station will be the crowd favorite? Who’s station will be the Staff favorite? More details on the Next Event page on March 1st

The past two years have been rough on a lot of people. From losing jobs to losing family or friends due to COVID, there have been many hardships. Perhaps one of the hardest hit places this has surfaced is in the non-profit and charity organizations out there. This is where PDXLAN can help. We can target local charity and GIVE BACK to the community in which we live.
Today I would like to announce that we will be supporting Forward Stride for our Spring 2022 charity drive. Through the pandemic I have watched them work hard to continue their services. Forward Stride works with veterans, children, and those with special needs. Forwards Stride also works with children in mentorship programs and those who need occupational and speech therapies.
Perhaps the largest reason I chose this charity is because I see first-hand how far their staff are willing to go for their programs. Forward Stride’s small staff is supported by over 100 volunteers who give their time to help make these programs work.
For Spring 2022, our primary goal is to raise $30,000 for Forward Stride.
Attendees that donate to the charity will receive 1 charity raffle ticket per $10 they (or their family and friends) donate. Attendees can then take those tickets and put them towards chances at winning prizes from our amazing sponsors. Attendees can freely choose if they want to go for a hard to get GPU, or a brand new CPU. Attendees will also be able to choose the “Grand Prize” system… a complete dream PC with an EVGA GeForce 3080 Ti!
Interested in helping? Here is more information.
Let’s do this!
