    Neither AOM nor AOE3 implemented install-media specific licensing, so I doubt AOE2 had that problem... Although the disc usually had to be in the drive for the game to start.

    Man. I gotta start prepping my PC for the LAN. Gotta install a fresh copy of XP, as Vista is too iffy with games. I'm so excited! w00t!

    I just wish the damn thing wasn't so big.

    Has anyone found a better place than Amazon to buy AOE2? They have it for $19.

    Is there any reason to buy an Editor's Choice edition of UT2K4, or will the regular edition suffice?

    ATTN Gamers who can't/won't/don't want to bring a PC.

    I can assemble a couple of pretty good gaming machines and bring them with me since I am just driving over. (7900GT in SLI with Dual Core AM2 and X1900 in CrossFire with a Dual core Pentium D or maybe a C2D E6400)
    The only issue would be a monitor/keyboard/mouse for 1 of them because I can bring 1 monitor and probably scrounge a keyboard and mouse.

    The machines are totally not assembled right now, so I need some advanced notice about this and if no one will need them, I certainly have other things to do with the time ;)

    But, I am volunteering to put one or both together.

    Whomever wishes to use one, you will be responsible for it, I would expect treatment as you would treat your own (wellll, maybe better than your own ;):p haha j/k ).

    Let me know.

    Prime... do you still have monitors to loan out?

    Also.. I will be bringing at least two pc's. One of which will be my gaming rig. They other are OK PC's that will be used as loaners and/ or servers. Please bring your own games thought. Don't want to get busted playing unlicensed games ;D

    If no one else has a need for it, I'd be interested in that. I get screened every time I carry my computer through the security checkpoint, and they're not exactly nice to the thing. There's no way I'm going to check it either. Heh.

    However, I wouldn't want to take it from someone who has a greater need, nor would I want you to spend more time than needed, Ryder.

    So, throw my name in, but put it at the back of the line, if you wouldn't mind. :)

    You got it Cyclonite :)

    Going to set a deadline of Friday the 15th, that gives me the weekend before the lan and the following week to have stuff together.

    Thanks to Q for the reminder: I do not have any of the games...so you will have to bring your own games, but I will have XP installed and all drivers, etc ready to go, should just have to install games and Frag on !!

    Ok....that will seal it then, I received a PM about the other one.

    Cyclonite, Q said he was bringing a couple machines...you might want to see what he has, although if people aren't participating in the same matches...someone else could always use one of mine.

    Looks like I better get to building :D

    I don't have outstanding GPU's though. I have a nice ATI 9800 and a Really nice ATI 1300. I'm not sure on the specs of the GPU's off the top of my head though.

    The PC specs are all above 2 GHz (or AMD equivalent) with at least 1 GB of memory. Plenty of HD space for all the games...

    CRAP... that means I might have to clear out my entire house. I think I can monitor-ize all three of my rigs. The rest of you will need to find some others. Sorry. :(

    ...as will be everyone else. Well, you won't be so much 'one' as you will be fine mists comprised of countless numbers of nasty little droplets. Tatters of your clothing will dance through the air as though it were a ticker tape parade, celebrating the molting of your corporeal shell, and heralding the arrival of a newfound 'enlightenment'. :p
