Hang Onto Your Goods At LAN Parties With the NZXT Bunker

"So, here's the situation: you roll into a LAN party in a less-than-ideal section of town. The lights are dim, the bouncer looks suspect, and Mike Tyson's tiger is situated there in the rear of the room. Even the Ethernet cables are grimy. Everyone's got their eyes on you and your new Alienware, and that stash of Razer peripherals just feels ripe for the taking."
Do people really have LAN parties anymore? I have been to a few in my time, but game developers seem intent on making encouraging online play only. Anyone remember the big brouhaha over Modern Warfare 2 and its lack of dedicated servers or LAN play? Still, there are a few games out there that are more LAN friendly. Of course, lots of people use laptops these days, if sales figures are any indicator. Yeah, I think the bunker, while a neat idea, is probably a bit late to the game.
