I have been pondering taking my computer and speakers(Z-560 THX) to nats, but see no easy way of getting it there. We are flying, and does my monitor and case count as carryons? Also, what if they insist on x-raying the case:eek:
Any solutions?
Wetzel, I’m not sure that X-Raying your box would be such a big problem. Of course, if you were really worried about it, you could pull your magentic drives and box them seperately. You could also get a laptop?
Athlon XP 1700+
Soyo Dragon Plus
512 DDR RAM
60GB 7,200 Maxtor HD
16x10x40 Lite-On CDRW
12x Sony DVD
GEFORCE2 MX-400 AGP 64MB VIDEO CARD
350 watt power supply (AMD approved)
Eagle Aluminum case
19 inch KDS flat screen monitor with Trinitron tube
APC Back-UPS Pro 650VA
Logitech Z-560 THX
Thats why I wanna take my own computer…
Besides, my laptop is a paltry 350 PII with a bum LCD.
How big is the carry on size? I am thing four carryon items.
Monitor, case, speakers, massive ups (2 hour). RtCW on the flight down anyone?
I need to check on who we are flying and their carryon rules…but then I wouldn’t get any sleep.
13-18 hour bus ride…to Florida?
We fly to Florida, 10 students (filght and pit) go down in enginners cars on Thursday, the rest bus down on Saturday. If I go on Thursday in a car, then my computer becomes easy.
Perhaps a huge LAN party at Nationals is not quite convenient, most people would be doubling the amount of luggage they bring, and the fact that, for the most part, peoples’ minds will be elsewhere from playing games (besides The Game).
Maybe we should think about organized regional LAN parties after Nationals?

**I just played the demos for RtCW, but the flamethrower was oh so very cool…
Too many people using it without control in the MP Test, though…
It made me sad/angry when one teammate would obliterate me and half of the rest of the team in 30 seconds… **
I know exactly what you mean…
Thats why I run my own server after the rest of my haouse has gone to sleep…hurray for cable modems, but 6 computers in this house taxes it a bit to run a server…
You get really annoyed when you’re LAN partying with friends, and you can’t add more than 6 or 7 bots in Counter-Strike without the server getting bogged down…
That’s the time you know you need a dual Athlon XP +2400 server…
For all the teams going to the LA regional. There is a place called the “Internet PC club” about 8 miles from where the regional is held. Using a number of servers, they have more than 120 1.6 GHz pentium 4s networked. They have games such as CS, Quake 3 Arena, Unreal Tournament, and other multiplayer games enabling you to make teams and set up your own multiplayer games. I know some of my team is going there after the competetion on thursday, and if any teams would like to join us we would be happy to give you all the info about this place. It only costs $1.25 per hour and is faster than most LANs.
It is located at 1451 w. Artesia Blvd, Gardena, CA 90248
on behalf of Team 588, I cordially invite you all to an old-fashioned pwning. Anyone willing to face Team 588/Clan [ApR] please email me.We will be attending the KSC regional and national events
