Hey all

Going to be my first respawn LAN...

Whats the go with computer chairs and dual screens?

Extra cost / Not allowed?

Thanks Sneaky

Hey sneaky,

To quote SirSquidness in the post Chairs (http://respawn.com.au/forums/index.php?showtopic=1092(


Also, during a previous discussion, the general consensus was no to dual screens unless one of those screens is a laptop.
Having said that, you get half a table length, so 2 screens would be pretty hard to fit on that unless one of them is on top of ur case, which is a pretty precarious position.

(Yes, I did tax that off Patryn and change tenses.)

Hope that helps you out, any other questions you have can probably be answered in The Jumbo Q&A thread (http://respawn.com.au/forums/index.php?showtopic=1184) or the guides on the main page (http://respawn.com.au/?page=guides)

One PC.
One screen.
One power point*.
One network point.


As above, your own chairs are fine as long as they do not obstruct walkways or annoy surrounding players.


* For you to plug your power board in to

If you enjoy being shunted and nudged every 2 minutes by people walking down the already tight aisles, bring a big arse computer chair.

Thanks all... I will be bringing my big arse computer chair
Plastic chairs for over 1 hour... Dont work to well

Cushions are your friend

butt cushions

It does depend on the chair. If it's a normal sort of sized officeworks type chair, then you should be ok. If you decide to recline your chair, then have fun getting bumped and bashed and i will probably bonk you on the head as i go past for being a duffer and taking up space. If we are getting on the large side of chairs, then please use come common sense.

Dual screens? no. We supply you with a single power point, and a single network point for you to plug your power board with your SINGLE computer and SINGLE screen. Also you only get half a table, and unless you are bringing dual 17" screens, then you are going to annoy the heck out of the person sitting next to you. (even with dual 17" = no!)

For those that must have the extra screen real estate, I have found the answer:

Perfect for playing tf2 while your main monitor is keeping track of your game of solitaire. Actually, that gives me an idea.

Anyway, butt cushions are easiest, and can be used to cushion your monitor in-transit. As much as I'd love to bring my big comfy chair...

AND you can use it to have a nap on unless you had a giant bowl of baked beans for breakfast or something.....

KAN EYE HAV DUEL SKREENZ?

TANK SAID NO

Yeah, but only the RULES OF DONG apply to me.

Also, if you want dual screens... I'm sure it would be ok if you checked with who ever you are sitting with first and paid 2 entry fees? So $60 entry fee + who ever sits next to you will think you're a dick Is it worth it?

well i know a player who has a 16 inch screen Its So SO CUTE according to another player

I assume if you registered, confirmed, and paid for two seats, then you would be entitled to run two computers' worth of peripherals on your whole table worth of space.

But when you left respawn you would be mugged by the 200+ people on the waiting list who couldn't get a single place, let alone two. So I don't think it would be worth it imho

well until the bump happens one of the 300 or so waiting might be able 2 get in

You would have to be registered as two people, confirmed as two people, in the top 500 as two people, pay for 2 people. and yes, that poor person at 501 will be very sad becuase you thought you needed your two screens to play games

I've only ever had pc + laptop and that's cause i do check-ins, and someone else uses the laptop. The admins have multiple screens cause they will often be running so many comps or whatnot.

Seriously, have a think, do you NEED two screens? really? it's jsut for one weekend!

i bring 6 screens...

5 of which are on my desk LOL

The guy I sat next to last time had a 22" and a 19" with the 19" purely doing DC++ but on an angle, we fit both those and my 24" on the table fine.

The person you were sitting next to was a very bad boy and must be sent to to the time out room immediately.

You don't need to bring 2 screens. Jesus christ.

YES I DO SHUT UP OK?!

<3

Yes, but Squid, we all know you are a special person with special person needs

He need to watch adult entertainment and defile himself. He needs a dedicated screen for it.

Srs note. Like seriously. You do not need a second screen. Like get out lol. If someone selfish person actually buys two spots just to fit a second big screen you are an idiot and should be castrated

Well there's always exceptions for people like you

plus squidward need his screens so he can chat play games download pron all at the same time

...you need to bring 3 screens instead

teehee~

weak as piss, bring 6 guys

naa all u need is your little 16 inch screen

Maybe that's all you need, but I'm sure she will disagree.

That's what she said?

Hey man, 16" is quite alot for some of these guys!

Dont make em feel bad, its how god made them

It's not the size of the screen, it's how you use it.

In this case the size is directly involved, none of this how you use it

Besides Your mum didnt mind teh size of teh screen

Seriously squid u r one sick man. one twisted fucked up sick man. with a perverted mind.

Can I bring 9 of those USB screens and tile them?

USB Screens?

9x 7 inch screens tiled....... sure!

would even make for a lol case mod if you did it right.

Build a case out of touch screens?

Keep going like this and youll find yourself with a rather large BAN.

lol

Sad thing is, it would still only be a 21" monitor :/

It would be cool if I had the money to spare on 9 of those things though...

A single 30" for me *fap fap fap*



DO IT!

does a 30" even fit on half a table?

We can always bend it a bit in the middle make sure it fits.
So anyone being insane bear that in mind.

EDIT:Nothing worse that being squished up by someone being stupid.

It does, if you have the case on the floor

Mate and I both have 30", we share the same table with no problems, of course the cases are on the ground. Have been doing this at the last 4-5 respawns.

Well.. i'm going to be more than content with my 21.5"

and squid she was too..

I have a 26" widescreen i hope thats ok lol

I'm curious about something... You say large chairs aren't a good idea, which I agree with completely.

But what happens if said chair is a wheelchair? I'm not in one myself (not yet anyway), but I do sometimes get around on crutches so I am curious as to what the best option there is.

I don't like making waves, but I haven't seen anything so far that refers to this situation.
