[$|W@R|TV@!K]

[cc4Spawn]

I'm also not a big DoTA van but I think I will play a few rounds.

[CLAN_DiCE]

^ If all else fails, it'll always run DotA - soz, couldn't help myself. :P >_< hehe

No... if all else fails... it can run "Plants vs. Zombies"!

Nah i was thinking more along the lines of solitaire or freecell, maybe even pinball???

The new PC just arived :D

480GTX,RampageIII :D sorry just had to tell.

Does anyone know if there is a size limit on PSU size? I did the math and if i want to put in a 2nd 480 i will need a 1+kw PSU. I know 24" is max size for screen at rage but i didnt see anything on PSU.

Only thing left now for rage is for some genius to make us a SCII lan crack.

[Karnalli3]

was wondering if the toilets will be so flooding with pee downstairs LAN area......guys for peak sake, aim rite!!!!!lol

[Miz3r]

All the times i was at rAge there was never a problem with that with regards too sanitary issues, the cleaning staff made sure the dome was kept clean always.

[Karnalli3]

the dome is clean, but the toilets downstairs at the LAN area, the floor is always flooded with not sure what, maybe water due to leaking.....mmmmm something, the smell actually gives it away, pretty sure it's urine......but luckily there is more than one, so I just don't "go" there......

Um never thought thats was possible haha :-) Just goes to show you watch this space you might just learn something......

[KraMGarD]

I'm done with Play. Had too much of it last year and there was almost more than wee on that bathroom floor. It's just a pity they don't allow food to be brought into the Dome. The food sold there are mostly junk food (burgers, hot dogs etc.) and after a couple of Plays and greasy burgers, well... Just make sure you eat when you should eat and also keep a bottle of water near to counter the sugar and greasyness ;)
OT- Now I will HAVE TO get a smaller case to minimize my airport luggage weight. Also getting a USB powered external hard drive. 250GB should do it I guess.

@Karnalli3: I heard through teh internets that Red Bull will be there this year collecting the post-processed Play for their bottling plant.

Listening to everyone preparing and being so serios, I thought I would share a part of my story, which does not make me smile. This is for anyone that believed a sales man. I did not go to fancy, a core i5 - 650 cpu, 8gigs DDR3 1333 RAM, a motherboard with 2 x PCI Express 2.0 slots and a GTS 250 card. Set the machine up run it for 2 weeks and buy a 2nd GTS 250 card. To make a long story short, the MB is bottom of the range and croddfire only, so now I have a "spare" vga card. Yes, Yes I can hear the laughter, but that is cool, this year I will have my 2 daughters with me at Rage and hope for a lot more laughter, fun and gaming on the rig.

p.s. this is my 5th RAGE loved them all.

Prepare well Gamers

See you all there...
