Thanks.

I just wanted to know, because one of my friends went with his normal plug and didn't run into any trouble, but then again- it was in 2006...

During 2006 there were some normal plugs here and there, so you might of been lucky. But get the red plug just to be safe.

“Okay will it be acceptable if my screen uses the same power as my laptop?”

Not sure if my first response was unclear. I was trying to say that yes you may use the other screen as long as you make that screen the only output active and obviously position it in such a way that they are not next to each other (normal dual screen setup). I mentioned the power to ensure that people realize that they cannot bring 2,3 or 4 screens to plug in and run a surround system. Since you can output only to the monitor it will effectively deactivate the laptop screen (goes off) in which case it means you are back to a normal PC/monitor setup, with your laptop being a very thin PC.

Hopefully that resolves your doubts.

“During 2006 there were some normal plugs here and there, so you might of been lucky. But get the red plug just to be safe.”

Correct. That was the last year that we were still busy moving over to the dedicated plugs. If I recall that would have been upstairs. There are now only dedicated multiplugs.

“Then your friend probably forced his plug in , which in a fools world , works , but in most cases ive seen , it breaks the multi-plug either when you take it out , or smash it in.”

Unfortunately we have had ‘insert less positive word here’ that did exactly that. And you are correct in saying that it damages the multiplugs. So they ended up in having to pay for the damage. Since the cost of these plugs are currently in the region of R150 each, I suggest you respect my equipment and ensure that you do not cause a possible power failure or injury to yourselves. Destruction of property is a legally punishable offense.

Well ive seen what happens when you force a normal plug into those plugs.. Had a buddy who did that at a other Lan, tripped the whole one side. Emidiatly we all yelled he name in the darkness.. He spent the whole lan outside in his car...

That comment was a general one, not one directed at you FF. :)

Hi all

One Question its my first time doing rage this year.Are there competisions for team play and how many players per team?

[NeoN]

@LEONIIDAS - Not sure if "team play" is a game or not... >_> <_< :P ...but either way I reckon threads for comps of various games will get posted up closer to the LAN.

[Domanskip]

Hell yes RAGE is approaching and I'll be sitting at my PC spam refreshing the Computicket page to buy them as they go on sale. 12:01 right? Or do they only go on sale tomorrow morning?

Anyway, does anyone know if there's somewhere I can buy a cable for a Lacie external that allows me to attach a red plug instead of the 2 pin? I have most of my stuff on my external and know it's not possible nor allowed for me to use an adapter. I only use one plug for my PC, and I've seen it around that I can ask for permission to use the second plug for an external, here's me asking for that permission.

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, I searched somewhat on the forums and got a lot of answers...but only these two still bother me:

Do any of you know if cod5 World at War comps for clans will be held at the NAG Lan this year?
And how does the clan registration for the Nag Lan work? (Is there maybe someone or a link who I can be referred to?)
