Review of Pimp my PC! Portrait of a LAN Party

Very well produced, and provides a quick (and accurate - a rarity) overview of the net-gaming culture. Unlike other coverage, this provides a good insight on the individuals and their machines.
Gamer coverage tends to be either doomsaying ("Oh no, the kids are obsessed with that durned machine!") or trite ("Their machines are tastefully decorated with shiny blue lights and stylish see-through side panels). Well-avoided by this piece - I'd really enjoy hearing more of this on the air.
