This year's QuakeCon 2011 Tournaments are sponsored by Alienware. A huge thanks goes out to Dell for providing 120hz monitors for the Quake Live Invitational Masters:
The Alienware Aurora combines the latest in gaming technology to deliver a premier gaming experience to even the most demanding hard core gaming fan. The Aurora is equipped with the Intel P67 Express chipset on a Micro-ATX motherboard with an unlocked BIOS to accelerate its Intel Core i5 and i7 CPUs. All new Aurora processors are shipped with Factory Overclocked Turbo Boost 2.0 for extra processing horsepower when needed, and the chipset also integrates SATA 6GB/s hard drive technology and SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports. It also includes a multi-GPU supporting architecture enabling NVIDIA SLI or AMD Crossfire enabled GPUs capable of exceeding Full HD resolutions with game graphics settings cranked to the max.
For extreme multitasking, the Aurora offers up to 16GB of 1333MHz DDR3 dual channel memory. Combining this with the Aurora’s CPU and graphics options, the Aurora delivers an incredible gaming experience as well as the versatility required to engage in video editing or other resource-intensive creative applications. Aurora users can also enjoy massive storage options with high performance and data security with a RAID 1+0 configuration or opt for super fast solid state drives, packing in an amazing amount of performance in a mid-sized tower, and allowing Aurora owners to forego any sacrifice of upgrade options in spite of the Aurora’s compact size.

This interview was conducted before the most recent Quakecon announcement about the voting system for play offs, so unfortunately this question was excluded in the Interview.
