ProfLAN - The alternative LAN plan

Helloes 5punkers!

Lan venues are proving hard to nail down, so I am planning a LAN at my house.

May 27th - 29th, is a bank holiday weekend and my house is free.
I recon there is enough room for at least 16 of us easy.

decent network is already in place
broadband
pizza, beer & pr0n etc no rules (as long as house is left intact)
would be cheap to set up as well. my guess is £5-10 each to cover hire of chairs tables and cabling.
There is some bed space, and plenty of carpet if you are weak & need sleep.

Easy to get to as well:
British rail (watford junction)
london underground (met line)
M25 (J18)
M1 (J5)

Ideas/thoughts people?

I'm in providing i can get a lift*, and assuming i'm not busy.



*i'm pretty much 2 miles from the M1 and the M69, and will pay petrol/booze

Idea = WIN

Dependent on having a bit of money still available, it sounds good to me. If anyone is driving down from the north east and wants someone to split petrol costs with then let me know!

Pencil me in for a yes.

Heh, umm airsoft in garden is fine, but not paintball. bring your gear if you like, there is a moor down the road where it would be fine.

Of course there is! also KFC/Pizza/tesco/kebabs/curry/chinese within 15min walk/3min drive.


Also, i forgot to mention that i may have a spare computer if someone needs it. But its would need a better graphics card to play games. (anyone got a spare 9800pro or something could borrow?)

I will get my server to run more stuff than just counterstrike. *claws at berk's shoes*
You also get a direct link to about 1Tb of networked goodies :)
