How often are the LANparties in York? I have never been to one other than the time when I set up Quake 2 at the office so we could play at lunch, but that didn't last too long:P Wow, I just realized that was about 3-4 years ago

Anyway, I just found this site and wouldn't mind checking out one of your LANs. I live pretty close to that Little People daycare center.

We hold LAN parties every 4 to 6 weeks. There hasn't been one since early December because of asset allocation for the upcoming 100 man event. Sometimes the LANs are held in York and sometimes in Port Treverton. Location of the venue will be on the front page. More to come on this.

Is location ever a problem? I have a 38' x 38' room with enough 6 foot tables and padded chairs to accomidate 50 people.

Room rental is FREE because its at the New Holland Ambulance building where I work.

The only problem may be that its in New Holland, Lancaster County. Zip code is 17557 if anyone needs to mapquest it.

Pictures of the room as well as measurements (including number of power outlets) can be provided if needed.

Anytime you talk about a lanparty arena.. power is your primary concern. You have to have a Crapload of power to run 50 computers. And, I am not sure you can get that many people into a 38x38 room.

*hopes it's dirty cause that's the way he likes it*

what do you mean? i am not knowing the term clean having to do with power.

but this generator would be able to run the LAN i am pretty sure 15kw would cover it plus some. but i might be wrong.

yea, I've heard that those generators have noise and spikes associated with them. I've never actually used them but thats just what i've been told.

anyhting that level (bigger than the things you buy at home depot) should have decent regulation. Those are the types of theings they use to power the audio and lighting rigs at concerts (and I can tell you the mics and lights are more advanced than computers)

That would be a really awesome thing for me to get my hands on

The buliding used to be an industrial machine shop. Im fairly confident it has the juice needed.

check the breaker box, what size breakers are in it.

cuzzNkev · « **Reply #12 on:** January 15, 2006, 05:04:52 PM »

You would need to know size and number and the layout of the breakers (how many outlets per breaker).

TekieB · « **Reply #13 on:** January 15, 2006, 05:16:23 PM »

Czar, talk to me sometime.

I should be able to figure out what you have, and power distro can always be brought in to take big circuits and make it into 20a branch circuits.

And where exactly in new holland are you
edit: you're like 10 min from me.

Czar · « **Reply #14 on:** January 15, 2006, 09:57:15 PM »

New Holland aint too big

Jackson Street. 4 houses from the NH Town Park.

Tomorrow at work Ill check out breakers. I know there's atleast 4 breakers in the basement, One of which is about 5 feet high 2 feet wide. Ill get specifics if I can and post a diagram of the available room.
