Remember the post about that there is no pc gaming this year right? Well, right now, I'm looking for people to go against me in CS 1.6, DOD, or Melty Blood Act Cadenza Ver. B. Please look for a guy with a black HP labtop. I'm seriously looking for a challenge that will invigorate me durning the convention. Thanks! XD
We'll have a working solution for this problem next year, as well as possibly a place to set up non-official tournaments. I know yesterday someone wanted a Hokuto no Ken tourney, but it just never got together. I think the option should be available if we don't think of it ourselves.
Hey, I am under strong consideration of coming back to E-Gaming and if that happens, I'll do what I can to help them to get a PC section back.
I'd personally love to see you back, I'm lost on PC gaming myself. Everything else I think we can bring back up to snuff, give you a reason to come back.
Of course I will be back. I'm more than happy to help out the e-Gaming section, mostly PC though. Oh yeah, I kinda forgot your face. Can you send me a picture of you? Maybe we can meet up on AIM or something.
I can help with the PC gaming too. I'm better with PCs than consoles anyways. I had no idea what a lot of the games you guys brought this year were.
if pc gaming returns for next year, a few suggestions:
TF2
Left 4 Dead
Call of Duty 4
Starcraft 2
The Crossing (if it is out by then)
I think call of duty 4 and Starcraft 2 would probably be big hits then. The problem is that whether or not the computers can handle it. At most, I think my laptop can handle Starcraft 2. I hope you guys can provide the computers because I would like to give a go on CoD4 and Starcraft 2. Anyway, GO PC GAMING!!! XD

oh, i'm damn sure that even a current entry-level PC could probably run Starcraft 2, and Call of Duty 4 is already a huge(and i mean HUGE) hit among the FPS crowd. i will probably have my laptop by then to play this stuff.

For the moment, lets say PC Gaming comes back. Depending on the PC equipment we get, I was actually thinking the same list of games I can suggest to the E-Gaming head. My list was gonna be: CoD4, TF2, Starcraft 2 (If its out), UT3, and maybe C&C3 and/or a Battlefield Game. Being a PC Gamer myself, I know what's up =)
If there was a PC requirement, I would guess minimum dual core CPU, 2GB ram, nvidia 8xxx /ATI 2xxx or better, and WinXP or Vista. I know it sounds rather high, but it would be good to strive for 35-45 FPS with decently good looking settings.
But that's if the PC section is back... :D

Starcraft 2 should hopefully be out before the con rolls around next year, from the screenshots and footage released already.
The majority of new PC's that are currently available(even low entry-level $400-600) can run most new PC games at low settings very well(UT3 can run at friggin' ridiculously low settings, FYI), so this might not be a problem....but that is if it comes back.
NOTE: you WILL want Left 4 Dead there, trust me.
Finally!!! I am posting again. Anyway, responding to all the posts, it would definately be cool if everyone pitches in, bring their laptops, and play hella games on it. In fact, it would be cool if we can have some LAN connection so we can all link up and fight against each other in C&C or some random fps game. Anyway, if we get a spot where we can put our PC's or something and play multiplayer games, it would be hella sick!!! Let's try to aim for that for Fanime 2K9!!! XD
how about we just set up a huge byoc lan party in the corner and let all you pc gamers have at it. :P
0 liability to us on your computers and it saves us on getting equipment since it's byoc :D

Now that idea I am starting to like; just need to upgrade to a new setup, and i will be set.
That's seriously a good idea!!! I was actually tired of having to set up near the console gaming area. It was hella crowded!!! X(
2.53 ghz wolfdale cpu
4gb ram
250 gb hd
8800gt ;)
i'm good to go if i wanted to play cod4
lol... 250gb... I have 320gb in total... along with a lot of dvds!!!! XD
plz bring back pcs. i want to play me some team fortress 2
A lot of the new games are graphics and CPU heavy.
I doubt they would be able to get enough rigs that can handle it.
That being said, I have two notebooks that can probably but the whole idea of other people touching my stuff...
T9500 45nm CPU
4 gigs of ram
200gb 7200 rpm
8600 GT 512mb GPU
AGN card
and a
Xeon X3360
4 gigs of ram
960 gb 7200x3 Raid 0 Array
8800 GTX SLI
AGN card
My antec p182 case is too big and heavy to haul ANYWHERE.... maybe i should go SFF or a micro-atx case soon...

Of course, going that route means dealing even more with heat issues (small cases have problems with the heat put out by today's CPUs, video cards, and (if overclocking) memory. Either that or noise issues with small, fast-spinning fans trying to keep the system cool.

Get a Lian-Li. Problem solved.

Consider that...actually no, this sentence just does not make sense to me, so I won't even bother with a rebuttal.
nah, who am i trying to kid? i actually hate cramped small cases, pain in the butt to wire in small spaces. mids/full towers ftw.

Last I checked, Lian-Li wasn't known for putting out SFF cases (such as Shuttle-style or Micro-ATX cases), which were being discussed. In fact, checking through their current lineup at their website shows no such cases. A couple of Home Theater PC cases, but those aren't nearly as small as a SFF or Micro-ATX case.

It's simple, really. SFF cases mean that the fans involved are going to be smaller than bigger desktop ones (for example, we're talking 40mm to 60mm or, at tops, 80mm, compared to 80mm to 120mm or even 140mm fans on regular desktop cases). However, in order to push as much cool air as their bigger bretheren, smaller fans need to spin even faster than bigger fans do, and when fans spin faster, they also become noisier as a result (quick experiment: take a basic desktop, standalone, or window fan used to cool a room and play with the speed settings. Notice that, at the slower speed settings, the fan is quieter, but when you up the speed, the fan is noisier. Same principle applies.). Now, take that and add to it the fact that, due to the smaller, more cramped spaces within an SFF case, airflow is worse than it would be in a larger desktop case, and as a result you have to push even more air through it in order to keep the components cool, so the fans have to work even harder (and as a result, even noisier) in order to keep things from seizing up due to heat buildup. Thus, SFF cases and, to a lesser extent, Micro ATX cases, have a reputation for being noisy systems in comparison to larger desktop towers.
Does that make sense now?

Amen to that. Plus the power supplies used in SFF cases don't lend themselves too well to video cards that are decent by today's standards. Maybe Micro-ATX since they can use most ATX power supplies, but they still can be a bit on the cramped side.
I have used Lian-li's before and their full towers are amazing when you mod it with a water cooling system.
You kids need to just learn to buy big powerful laptops, problem solved. Portable and powerful.

Oh, I agree. They're great cases when you have the budget for them :D

I don't know a person who DOESN'T love Lian Li. I love their simplicity and elegance.
A big powerful laptop costs way more than a desktop rig. Out of most people's Budget... And you can't exactly perform many upgrades on a Laptop(New Video Card?)....

Nope, you can upgrade graphics cards on a laptop.
I have a 17" that I can went from a 7950 SLI to a 8700 SLI to 8800 SLI. It costs more, yea...but honestly...way more portable =P
