The Biggest Names In The Business are sponsoring Tribal Wars.

ATI is one of our premiere sponsors this year. Their Radeon series are the best video cards to run Tribes, Tribes 2, and Tribes: Vengeance on. They're going to supply our tournament with a big fat bag of very nice products to give away to winners. It's time to celebrate - thanks ATI!

Sierra joins us again this year as a premiere sponsor. They not only did a wonderful job producing the Tribes, Tribes 2, and the upcoming Tribes: Vengeance game, but they've also shown incredible committment to the community of rabid gamers supporting them. Sierra is helping with the space you'll be playing in, as well as providing plenty of prizes (including copies of Tribes: Vengeance!). Thanks Sierra!

HomeLAN is our networking partner this year, providing the backbone and infrastructure required to make a huge LAN party like this one work. They'll also be providing the lightning-fast servers you'll be playing on, and connecting the two LAN locations for low-ping gameplay. Thanks HomeLAN!

There's a law somewhere that says you can't have a LAN party without a boatload of Bawls to keep bleary-eyed gamers going - and we're not going to begin to break it! Bawls is in on the action again this year as the official Fuel of Tribal Wars. We'll have Bawls on hand at both locations this year. Thanks Bawls!

Overachieving gamers need an overachieving computer, and there's only one way to keep these hot-rodded machines cool - Thermalright's selection of accessories. We welcome Thermalright this year because they're the best of breed in CPU and computer cooling. They make absolutely fabulous products and we're happy to have the leader in performance join us.

Today's games and operating systems command more and more system memory, and the faster, the better. Crucial has a huge selection of memory modules available for practically whatever system you might have, and at whatever performance level you have in mind. Crucial can get it done!

We're very happy to bring Antec on as a premeire sponsor this year, supplying both coastal locations with loads of great prizes. Antec makes some fantastic parts for the DIY computer builder. They have the highest quality items for your high-performance computer - from cases to power supplies to the smallest detail in the construction of your super-computer.

Nyko rejoins us this year with another slew of gaming accessories! These guys make some really wonderful items that are not only a lot of fun but truly innovative as well. When I say innovative, I'm talking about cool stuff like their awesome AIR FLO™ line (for sweaty-handed gamers like me) and the wireless stuff they make.

AngryMan is going to be at Tribal Wars East in Chantilly, firing up his Dremel Moto-Tool and nibbling away at various cases doing on-the-spot case mods. He's also bringing a bunch of prizes for everyone too, we're happy to say! Bring some extra cash to throw his way, because when you see some of the wonderful mods he can do on the fly to your computer (from cutting windows to doing custom inscriptions in them), you're going to want your PC on his operating table. Scalpel!

Intel powers the world's fastest gaming machines with their ridiculously fast Pentium 4 Extreme Edition. It's the perfect product for the passionate gamer, with a huge 2MB L3 cache and simply outstanding performance in any of today's (and tomorrow's) games. We've been Intel users for years here and we're very happy to have these guys on board, donating some absolutely killer prizes.

Soyo make some amazing products for the computing enthusiast. They're probably known best for their mainboards, but lately, they've branched out and started producing some other high-performance, high-quality gear - notably some super-sweet power supplies that we're very eager to get our hands on. We understand they are donating a few inflatable dolls for prizes at the LAN party in addition to a bunch of other Soyo products. Don't ask - we don't know either!

Ever heard ofCreative? We bet you have. They make not only some of the industry's finest sound cards for gaming, but also some great speakers, portable audio devices, cameras - you name it. They're a very special company in that they'll be in attendance with a special Creative Demo Booth at both the East and West locations this year - welcome back, guys! (They were at UVALAN 2, as well!)
