We got a pretty smokin deal at this venue. They get $4000 plus they make over $10,000 in gross food sales. We get $35 for a 27hr event. Total budget is around 8 to 10k an event so we make about that for a local charity that we choose. Just to rent tables and chairs is like $1,300. Craig

Yeah. They had the discounts in we just had to install some cam tails. Nothing better then cam locks for temp power. We struggled for years to find a venue that could get us over 330 antendees. Than this bowling center got sold and the new owners ripped out the gocarts and put the basketball

The good thing about that, a gaming GPU which consumes 150-250W when under load, actually playing a game (or using it for something like bitcoin mining) is only 15-20W maximum when idle. On Wed, Apr 6, 2016 at 3:47 PM, Joe Novak wrote: > Here is a slightly bigger list: > > >

Here is a slightly bigger list: https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/msi-radeon-r9-390x-gaming-8g-oc-review,8.html My 390x draws a staggering 250 watts. CPU socket has a 125w thermal for CPU. I leave it on... a lot. It doesn't cost me a ton. On Wed, Apr 6, 2016 at 5:28 PM, Eric Kuhnke

Granted, this is not a 'modern' gaming computer. It used a ton of power. I built it nearly ten years ago. On Wed, Apr 6, 2016 at 4:28 PM, Eric Kuhnke wrote: > Not like it actually consumes 800W, it's just *capable* of getting near > there in a really high load

Re: [AFMUG] OT: Internet usage at a 500 person lan event.

Not like it actually consumes 800W, it's just *capable* of getting near there in a really high load scenario... a modern gaming desktop is typically about 75W thermal for the CPU, up to 150W thermal for the GPU (a $450 card whether nvidia or AMD), plus misc 30-45W other stuff. For example:

My last gaming computer had a 800 watt power supply. That thing would kill our power bill if I left it running 24/7. On Wed, Apr 6, 2016 at 3:21 PM, Seth Mattinen wrote: > On 4/6/16 14:12, David wrote: > >> BF1942 and counter strike were the most popular >> > > > I spent a
