whats the deal with renting a pc/monitor? how much?

is it set up away from everyone else or can it be set up where you want to sit with your mates?

Can you rent just a monitor?

I’ll be there with my life partner Blind.

Yes at the last event you can hire pcs/monitors, I think this is what some of the guys from EV did and they seemed to get on well (mostly) with the pcs. You can for a deposit or something if I remember get them put where you want so you dont have to sit in a certain area. Details would normally be released nearer the time but this was the information for i45

On another note it would be worth us getting a list of equipment us in the UK could have / bring to the event for people coming from abroad. I have a couple of spare monitors and even a pc if people really needed them.

For i43 I took a flight to Heathrow and then trains to Birmingham and Telford. Ryanair also offers cheap flights from Turku to London Stansted, which is what I’m looking at currently. A flight to Birmingham will save you a lot of hassle with trains/buses etc but it’ll cost more.

For i42 I had just a laptop, keyboard, mouse, headset, some clothes, a towel and a small sleeping bag all crammed into carry-on luggage. For i43 I borrowed a keyboard (nova <3) so that saved some space. A laptop was good enough for me at both events.

Yeah Ryanair seems to have some good and cheap options.
That Turku-London flight on 23.8 and trains down to Telford would be perfect with EAS.

Just the financial problems left to fix then..

Has anyone ever tried getting there with a PC+screen from Central/Eastern Europe?

Pikachu bought his entire setup to i43, though luggage handlers did break his headset. You also might have to pay extra money for heavy luggage, not entirely sure it may depend on the service. Yeah it isn’t too hard, I got a huge case with your PC and monitor and wrapped it in loads of bubblewrap.

If you’re putting all your stuff in one bag then you’re going to pay excess and it will probably cost more than just renting a pc. And putting heavy load/fragile stickers all over your bag won’t stop the handlers/airplane from destroying all of your stuff.
