There are good headphones at any budget. Good gaming headsets not so much.

Adding a modmic to decent headphones saves a ton of money vs buying a Beyerdynamic MMX300 or Sennheiser PC350+

• All: At less than 50% of the month, 86% of the donations for both NA and EU, thanks for keeping the lights on donators!
  
• All: Updated UGC configs. Someone contacted me on steam about it, but the window closed before I could say thanks, so: Thanks!
  
• All: To save a ton of diskspace, demos and logs now get removed after 31 days, so make sure to download the zip before that time.
  
• EU: Someone donated the 100-year donation in keys. Coming to a prize pool near you soon.

Prem survived FakkelBrigade winning, it will survive S18.

• All: Added a reservation chart to make it easier to find a free server on a busy night. When you make a new reservation you can press this button to view the chart , which on a busy night might look a little something like this. When you click on a reservation's bar your reservation start time will be set 1 minute after that reservation ends.

I already built a system that collects the data for these kind of stats from live matches. It's just used for live damage/kills stats in streams right now, you can see an example here. The "top damage this round" and "top kills this round" are collected live from the gameserver and delayed by 90 seconds to sync up with SourceTV.
That same system already collects all kinds of other data you can get from TF2 log lines, just never gotten around to write something cool for those.

Logs.tf has a good API. Both for uploading logfiles and reading the stats.
It uses TFTrue or F2's sourcemod plugins on the server side to add the extra information to the logs and upload the logs to logs.tf.

• All: Added !rcon chat command so the person making the reservation can execute rcon commands without having to remember the rcon password, yay for dementia!
  
• EU: Sent the server providers their share of the donations based on amount of time played
  
• NA: Sent tragicservers half of the donations for na.serveme.tf. No calculations needed when there's only 1 server provider :)

• All: Changed the way you find available servers. You now always go to the new reservation screen. After entering start+end times the list of available servers updates automatically.
  
• EU: People keep trying to use the beefy pipe of the VanillaTV servers to attack TF2Center http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_attack. To protect TF2Center, their server is somtimes firewalled on the VanillaTV servers. When the firewall is active you'll see a "not responding" error on TF2Center, please use another server during this time.

Because it uses the power lines for network connectivity. Works best if it doesn't need to cross breaker switches and such.

WiFi, especially the normal 2.4ghz type, is never going to be really reliable in terms of latency. There's too few channels, too many sources of interference and with multiple clients on the same network you'll get random delays.
If you have no other option than WiFi, get a router that has 5ghz support and only use the 5ghz for gaming.
