[JayZee]

Dude, you're on the other side of the country. :facepalm:

[Honzo]

that's what the ":tongue:" was for
but if I had the money, I'd buy a plane ticket and come, there aren't enough people having LAN's around here :(

[AtomicInternet]

If I lived in Florida I'd be at the beach all day, screw lan parties! :)

[kustomcougar]

The 24th is Kurts Housewarming / MC meet Brad.

[AtomicInternet]

It shall be stricken, and the 10th is looking like the clear winner anyways. I just hope that's not when I'm supposed to go to Cleveland again :). If so the 3rd is a winner.

[LadyX]

omg, if it's not the 10th, Ron won't be able to go, and he'll cry :( It's the only Saturday in May that we're free.

[marinofan]

So I'm interested in coming but what game/games will be getting played? I dont have the new Frontlines and I really can't afford it right now.

just curious how it works since if I come it will be a 3 hour trip.

thanks

and should I make myself suffer and just bring one monitor LOL

[JayZee]

may 3rd is my bday and i have other plans too :evil:

[EternalOne]

If it's the 10th I won't be going -- that's a daddy weekend.

You want it? I'll make you a good deal for mine. I can't play it..:disgust:

[JayZee]

[2low4potholes]

I typically provide "demo" copies of the games, meaning you can use them at the LAN as long as you delete them when you leave. I have such a demo copy for Frontlnies, we played it the majority of the time.

[JayZee]

i should be good with frontlines with a Radeon X1650 right?

[puma1]

any weekend is good... its not for one person or another, whatever date allows the most people I think will be best!!

[JayZee]

i didnt kno u were into LAN parties puma haha

:shrug:
I don't see whats wrong (and I'm not talking about the pictures missing, i removed them so the reply wasn't huge).

oh there was hardly and goop on the gpu and the memmods

[JayZee]

any way they can save a buck!

[2low4potholes]

ya im tryin find out wat evga is gonna do for me . or if i have to buy my own after market sink

[Honzo]

oh there was hardly and goop on the gpu and the memmods

eh, i'd disagree. I've been building comps for ages and i just built a liquid cooled dual core duo machine running at 4.2 gHz overclocked :biggrin:
i hardly use any paste, since it seals so tight anyway, you just need SOMETHING to transfer heat from the cpu (gpu) to the heatsink, which in most cases, i've seen about 4 drops worth work...

either way, since you got that bad boy off there, i'd say get a liquid cooling block for it :D

water is the future :rofl:

[Honzo]

good point
yeah, I usually build liquid cooled machines from the ground up, meaning cases with a built in top radiator. nice computer nonetheless :thumbsup:
Some company may make an aftermarket heatsink, but i'd say it should be fine if you maybe just but more paste on is :shrug:

never really had a problem with video cards before

[AtomicInternet]

OK JayZee, it's officially May 3rd so update your post.

Link to the details: AtomicDetroit :: View topic - Barn LAN - May 3rd, 2008 - 1pm -> 1am (http://atomicinternet.homeip.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=12592)

[JayZee]

[Excelcier]

[BradismyB1tch]

Sorry Ron, Mothers' Day and seeing my brother who's coming home from Milwaukee is more important than a LAN party. :)

[JayZee]

no one wants to go now?!?! what the hell lol

[2low4potholes]

so what now its not on ?

[JayZee]

it is if people say they wanna go...

[BradismyB1tch]

It's still on.....May 3rd @ 1 pm @ our house. Food and Drink provided. Bring computer stuff you need...Brad has lots of cables and power supply. Jayzee, r u spending your b-day with us?!?!?

[JayZee]

i guess. hahaha

[EternalOne]

I will be there, but might not play much. I'm going to try and tow the Talon into town on Friday night, and try and getting it running on Saturday so I can race on Sunday... :P

E1

[JayZee]

okay, so 3 people for sure... well, 2 and half (john) haha

[JayZee]

If their isn't 5 or more people going (who are going to be full-on playing) then i don't think I'm to willing to go, since it's my birthday and I have others who would like me to spend the time with them.

So please post if you're going to go or not.

Thanks :)

[Excelcier]

Not going.

[puma1]

smitty's commencments are that day, wont be making it to detroit, sorry!

[JayZee]

If we don't have 5 for-sure attendees by the end of today, I'm making new plans. Sorry Brad :\

[EternalOne]

You do realize that the majority of LAN party-goers are not Cougar people, right?

E1

[JayZee]

Yea I noticed that on the atomic forum.

But since it's on my birthday, I'd rather spend it with the people I know. You know?

IDK, I guess that's how the cookie crumbles...

[EternalOne]

Attendees:

Brad
Lisa
John
Steve
Candy
Rob
Brian
Marco
Tom
Jona
Keith
...
potentially up to 5-10 more, depending on if all of the Agent's go, and what other random people from work show up...

E1

[JayZee]

well at least I don't feel bad for droppin out on you guys then since you have all these people.

I just wish it didn't fall on my b-day.

I guess I'll have to wait till fall to experience the Barn LAN :\

[EternalOne]

There's only one Barn LAN a year -- the one time when it's early enough in the year that we're not 100% car crazy, and yet late enough that we're not freezing our balls off in the barn. The rest end up in the basement...

E1

[JayZee]

so, like i said, i'll have to wait till fall when it's this temperature again. and previously like Brad said, he doesnt usually do them in the spring, but rather in the Fall.

[2low4potholes]

ill stop by.. idk where brad live's now thou..
