z0mg! First post! lolololol! HAI! *ahem* I'm just curious, how many people does Respawn get travelling from more than, say, half an hour away? Do you get many from regional cities (eg, Bendigo!) Perhaps any bus loads, or people using public transport to carry their PCs there? If you were to travel two hours to a LAN, any advice? I have car. Will drive if I have someone to share petrol money with  I myself live in Bendigo. I'm an admin for a 40+ person LAN up here [invite only, sorry folks  ]. I'm wanting to head down to Melbourne with a few mates for a nice big LAN, so far Respawn looks like the best option. Your answers wont have a bearing on my choices I'm just curious.

QUOTE (tacticus @ Jan 8 2009, 11:35 AM) I'm going to play my 2600km each ... Epic.That's all I need to say. QUOTE (Tank @ Jan 4 2009, 02:09 PM) Also when we talk player limits, size is only one of the variables. There are other issues like Power and safety and such things  Power... Bring more people. I'll bring my UPS. Problem solved (for me)! Hell, I'll be generous. I'll bring an extension lead and run my PC from the toilets! And safety... Hell, it's a LAN. There's enough biohazards in there to kill a small african nation. 'sif we need to worry about safety (On a more serious note, I do completely realise why there's limits =) )

Just wow. I shall not complain at all about driving a bluebird station wagon down from Bendigo with [possibly] four people, who all use LCDs and average sized cases (except for my Antec P182 - that seems to dwarf most standard ATX cases. Maybe it's just 'cos it's so freaking heavy that it becomes a psych thing...) Said car gets filled when I got to teh LAN I run, but that's cos I take like... everything in my room. Four PCs (three servers - one of em's a freaking huge old HP storage server), three monitors, craploads of cables, prizes, projector screen, etc. Should hopefully be fine with the LAN gear for this LAN.
