I'll probably need a monitor. Unless I end up driving, which is unlikely.

An LCD would be a lifesaver. I've got a faded CRT circa 1990. It's no problem to bring it but if anyone's got a spare LCD, you would be a savior in my gaming experience.

Kingpin I have a ton of spare 15inch CRTs at my house. They're LCD's but they're not faded. You're call.

Fer shizzle, Bizzle. I knew you had a bunch but wasn't sure if they worked. I, myself, have four that are shot that I haven't bothered to dump. But definitely, that will work.

I have two 15" lcd monitors. They both work, but they're each a bit fuzzy until they get warmed up. If anyone would like me to, I can bring them.

This doesn't apply to the 15" LCD's, but keep in mind you'll have an extra person and luggage in the car on the way home.

That's why we'll have to rent a car. My car is too small, and I don't trust Sharky's car to make it.

HMMMMM.

I run two 20" widescreeners on my box, I might be convinced to part with one of them for a couple days... unfortunately, they're on VESA mounts, so they'll need to attach to a table, but I'm sure you'll figure that out.

I'm getting way ahead of myself on all this, but let's see where it goes. Is there a handy list of any kind educating those of us new to the experience as to what should be brought on one of these adventures?


Oh hay, look at that, Keebs has one not 3 threads down from me. Do please excuse.

I have a crappy monitor for the server. It's not really good enough to let anybody use it for gaming, but for servers, it's fine

I'll be bringing 2 pc's this year. Both can run TF2 rather well. One is mine but the other one is open. I have a 19" LCD for that one...

I may be able to scrounge up a rig for the desperate. It'd be a Socket A of some kind (circa 2ghz) and 512mb or 768mb RAM. What I lack is a decent vid card. If someone's got a spare AGP card, that'd be good.

I have a 17" flat CRT that CB gave me. It has a ghosted image that looks like a BIOS screen on it, but I don't think it'd be visible while gaming. You have to actually look for it while it's just sitting at the desktop.

Or you could lend me the third PC which is what I hope you originally meant when you said you were bringing a second PC.

If you want to bring the whole rig, don't let me stop you. But if not, the 9800 Pro + Ryder's 2gb DDR would make it a fine rig for the games we'll be playing.

I remembered I've got a GeForce FX 5200 lying around that I could bring, but it hasn't been tested. Do you think it could run TF2, at 1024x768 at least? I don't get the impression it's a super-taxing game, but then again my usual graphics card is much better.

Well I didn't claim any pc as people posted that they're bringing one but I did post early on in this thread that I won't be bringing my pc. I will be bringing my games though so if I have a pc that can handle any of them i'll play. Really though if I can have one to play an ocassional game of TF2 I'll be good to go.

OK... PC #2 and #3 will be open to whoever wants to use them... Blackhawk you have one, Garg and Joe can fight for #3. Really, unless you guys are on the same team, you can share one of the 2 free pc's.

Well it looks like there will be an extra gaming pc/monitor available since NiGHTS is not able to make the LAN anymore, unless Ryder has already given dibs to someone else... which is entirely possible :P

Blackhawk,

IF Nights is not coming, then that PC is yours, if you choose not to buy/bring whatever. Even if you do, that PC is already assembled, whatever.

You can Shorty can share, if your not in the same tournaments, too
