*adds WRT54G (DD-WRT hacked :D), 8-port switch, and ethernet cables to bring-to-MGC list*
:D
In that case, I'll strongly consider bringing a computer. I refuse to bring my laptop because I'm afraid of it getting stolen (I don't have the money to buy a SECOND macbook pro :lol: ) but I could bring like the iMac G3 sitting on my bench or something.

FTW! :lol:

i will be bringing the following:
*My toolbox of wonders (aka the Sylvania parts kit)
*a TON of misc parts! (buttons, controller/system parts, leds, etc etc) for sale/free depending on the part!
*a few partially finished portables (request specific ones if you want to see them, ask me for a list of what i have! lol)
*my amiga 1200, hopefully set up better this time!
*my (hopefully finished and working) neogeo MVS console and game (12 in all IIRC!)
*my laptop (if i get it back together) and external harddrives, plus my zune! (anime, movies, music etc!)

as usual i plan to be well equipped and my parts box is ready to help build another NESquick or toilet NES or whatever! im super excited for this year :D

In all seriousness, please don't bring desktops to the suite. We're already overstuffing the rooms technically, and I don't want the people from the hotel to see a bunch of desktop computers going by the front desk or anything weird like that. Plus, the rooms would get too crowded. If you're afraid of your computer getting stolen (we've never had that kind of problem before, but I'll admit that there are new people mixed into the group) get a Kensington lock or something.

I just found out that I'll have to take a gray hound for 5 hours to st. paul, minnesota then get picked up there to drive to mgc. Apparently my mother though it was next weekend and can't take me this weekend. :(

This is a valid point. I won't bring my iMac - even though it's an all-in-one, it still takes up a good chunk of space being that it's a CRT...

Hmm. I'll make a note to bring my Kensington lock. Ketchup trusts you guys, so I should too... /insert leap of faith :D

Nothing personal against anyone here, I'm just overly protective of my Macbook Pro...

I understand, but in all honesty my biggest fear is that we'll get ours mixed up when we leave (I've got one, too) :P

Lol. Actually that makes me feel safer in bringing my laptop, seeing as I won't have the only expensive laptop... Most Benheckers seem to be the Netbook or the Thinkpad type...

One idea I had for this year would be to bring stuff to sell/trade, as there would be no shipping involved then, especially for items that would cost more to ship than they are worth. It's good if you've got a few too many of a particular system, controller, or game.

If people want to do this, it might be worth making a thread so we can post what we can bring, as I doubt I'm the only one with more excess stuff than I'd want to pack along; thus, it'd be good to guage interest in your junk.

What do you think?

I think this is a great idea! I don't have much extra junk to sell, but I'd be interested in seeing what people have to offer. Kinda like a Benheck MGC Garage Sale...

I've been trying to make a sale thread with free shipping to MGC for a while now, and a megathread with everyone's stuff would be better because then I can add things as I find them and not feel like a knob for trying to create a giant sale thread while only listing with one thing haha.
