It's not that money is a concern - you can't keep everyone happy. We do all we can to make the LAN an experience that is fun and rewarding. You go on about getting prizes like headphones, etc, but won't be specific about types as otehr people might want 'other ones'. Therein lies the problem. If we were to offer headphones to the CS clans instead of the $500 cash, we could get some decent ones, but i can garauntee someone will be unhappy. Fans, lights, etc, we're at the mercy of sponsors, and are greatful that they offer us product regardless of what it is.
If the prize isn't to your liking, you could always donate it to another comp. I'm fairly sure there's other players out there who'd be happy to take it off your hands.
One final remark, I have considered the iPod idea, and it seems to me that most people have some sort of portable music device these days. It's nearly impossible to please everyone. Perhaps we should have a vote for v4 at v3 regarding what sort of things people would like to see on the prize list.
