On the first day we mostly tried to get the big picture of the event. We took a short tour through the booths in the exhibition hall. Unfortunately there's so many booths around the area that we probably won't have time to go trough all of them.
Here's some image and video material from the booths that passed by (there are many more booths in the LAN halls). More pictures will be posted to the image gallery, here's just a few of them.

Intel had two F1 simulators that you could play from inside of an "F1 car".

Norton's "robot wars" arena. Robots start from behind the firewall blocks (those U-shaped ones). Yes, they have "firewall" printed on them, no idea why.

Intel Quake 4 booth with 6 laptops having the game running in a LAN deathmatch. Doesn't look like there was saved in the expenses. It looked pretty cool. We also played it one round, but Quake 4 is old, so we didn't spend more time on it (and you can't play with the default configs anyway :).

Swedish airforce signals container with loads of routing hardware, cable and a few servers. Really interesting stuff. I had quite a long discussion with the personnel at the booth and it was quite interesting to find out that they have actually started to use civilian hardware instead of "military grade" stuff. Though all the stuff you can buy yourself was puffed up with mostly a high grade casing to protect the fragile ordinary hardware.

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars running on Intel's machine. Wabbit played for a while and managed to kill the opponent with least frags.
And here is what you all have been waiting for. The last movie for the evening, enjoy!
