Okay, I did it too.
Got a seat next to Doc.

Beezer did you move your seat for me or someone else :?:
I saw the end chair open and I grabbed it :lol:
Probably does not matter we can always move around in our group once we get there,

On another note: I put my new case together. Its running on the onboard video card so I can't really play games.
Doc said we can switch cards for the party although I don't think he is really happy with that :wink:
He can put in my fancy X800 and I can use his X850.

The case is pretty crammed. I guess I will need to buy round cables and probably a combo DVD/CD burner to replace the old DVD player and old CD burner eventually. The power supply cables are also way too long and there are too many. Might have to cut a few.
Should be good enough for the LAN party. The only fault I have found with the case so far is the front headphone and mic jacks are reversed from their labels. Took me a while to figure that out. I thought they just did not work. Dunno if I can move them or not. They maybe soldered onto a board in the front.

One reason I bought it was to fit under the hutch you can see in the top picture. It doesn't :oops:
I checked the dimensions before I bought it. Maybe they did not include the little rubber feet in the measurments :evil:

I'm sure it will be well worth it once you get the vid card sorted out.

Is that a built in carry handle on the front there?

Yep, I am a little afraid of carrying it by it though. The case itself seems less than a pound or 2. When loaded its pretty heavy.

You did not have to do that, but thanks. We can shift around when we get there.
Smuckers, Mike and Big J should be taking the remaining seats in our area soon :wink:

As of this moment I plan on going Friday night at least to setup and play a game or 2.
I will probably go home and come back Saturday until my arthritis sets in:) Don't think I will hang around all the way through Sunday morning.
