cant wait for rAge this year, missed last year due too transport so this year im sorting it out early.
no external hdds are allowed. Ones that require power that is. If you got the ones that use usb power you are ok.
What NOT to bring:
No Speakers
No UPS?s
No Multiplugs
No Double Adaptors
No Switches Or Hubs
No Additional Devices Requiring Power for e.g. Fans, Cell Phone Chargers, Etc
I've got to agree that this years rage is going to be awesome. I've been to almost every rage, but have never gone to the Lan. This year I've got everything ready and I'm definitly not missing the Lan. Just a quick quistion: How does the whole check in work on the friday, I also remove my HDD, VGA and CPU cooler for transport purpouses, the pc is probably checked for power usage and such, so I guess I'll have to place those components back before the check?
Sorry for any spelling/grammar mistackes
Sorry if this sounds Noobish, I'm more of an online player.
They plug your box in and switch it on for literally a second or two to check your power output. So yes, you will need to replace all your components to get an accurate power usage check.
Can't wait for this years RAGE! This will be my 5th year ... Hope it will be as awesome as always . . . R350 is small change if you consider what you get ! And Hopefully we will get T-shirts again this year ... WOOT .
I guess tickets starts selling from 1 August Again ?
PS - people who bring speakers to a LAN ... Face palm to you ...

Hi!
What games can we expect to play? Would AvP be on that list anywhere, and (dare I say) Doom 3? What about online games, like Guild Wars?

Hwzit y'all i really can't wait for rAge this year, last year i saved up my whole years pocket money, all of the coins i found on the ground and money people gave me an i just had enough for thr bus fair. Maybe this year i'll make the trip, but can any1 tell me if u need a pc or can u bring a laptop thats just as good cuz thts all i have, thanks! :-)
@ Feyra Aranor - I doubt if Doom3 will feature, um I think it's safe to say it will not. As for online games, I suppose it depends on the availability of an internet connection at the LAN. We will have to wait until later to get an idea on what servers will be available i guess.
@ Supa Soka DJ - Yes you can bring a laptop. There were quite a few guys last year with laptops, so it's ok.
Thanks its just that my laptop is not so good (it recently blew up its own motherboard, has no bluetooth anymore and the fingerswiper security thing doesn't work, oh and it tends to shut down if it rejects a game, the dvd drive only works if the pc is restarted and it can't sustain an internet connection for more than five minutes) wow, okay i think i need a new computer after seeing all this on paper (or the internet, you get the point). Does anyone know of any custom desktop stores in durban so i can get a new pc made for me?!?
Hi Guys
This year will be my first year going to rage and i am really excited.
Will tickets be sellng at compu-ticket or are they only sold at the door as first comes first serve?
How long are the q's when you waiting to enter rage, Do gamers start arriving at 5am in the morning to get first in q?
I read on one of these posts that there were different charges as R80 and then R350 for the nag lan, Am i right in saying the R80 charge is only for the expo and the R350 is for the lan and expo?
Anyway I am extreamly excited about rage:)
that is correct tickets sell like hot cakes in first 2 weeks last year tickets were sold out (i think?) so get them fast otherwise u will b a sad panda and hav missed out on the awesomist lannin and gaming experience EVER
My sister went to rAge last year and she said it was great.
Only thing she said dissapointed her, was the lack of the usual anime scene and number of magazines available. But I guess the reccecion hit us all right?
Any idea of the scale of the anime this time around?
Tickets for the NAG LAN go on sale exclusively at Computicket on 1 August (no tickets are sold at the door). Tickets are normally sold out within the first two weeks, so we suggest you get yours early. The ticket price will be R350 and will give you access to the LAN and the expo all weekend.
The LAN officially opens at 10h00 on Friday morning and people start queing from around 7am. The check-in process goes fairly quickly so you shouldnt have to wait too long to get in.
