Great info...thanks guys! You going to be able to make it Strong? Hmmm...excellent point on the deposit thing Does anyone own or have access to a business we could use for the tank deposit??

Hiya folks!!! We're on! Based on poll results to date and pm's with various folks, we're looking at roughly 25 attendees on July 23rd-24th. Next steps are to get the venue and ln2 arrangements made. On the venue...Lochekey you still game for helping on that front? aerotracks has also said he'd help so if you guys could coordinate with each other, that'd be great. Figure Witchdoctor and hotrod might also be able to check places as this is in their neighborhood? Hoping for someplace decent but kinda cheap and think the expandable/sectional room idea is great. If we manage to get more people, we can just add some space. Power and air conditioning (and dehumidification?) are super key. I'm clueless on those fronts so hoping someone can vet that out for us. We'll want to make sure they'll give us a nice discount on rooms and stuff, too. If you guys find 1-2 places that would work for us, I have no problem making the phone calls, trying to work the best deal for us and getting it booked. Then there's the ln2. Figure 60-75L/person should be plenty. If anyone has a great contact at a local distributor, it'd be great if you could start checking with them for estimates (including gas, delivery, tank rental, price matching, etc). Couple of benchers have reached out to me with pricing around $0.38/L so I'll chase up with them for contacts, account numbers, copies of receipts, etc. Will also speak with the guys I get mine from to see if there's anything they could do with the praxair in the Harrisburg area and start trying to get that locked in. Next is the loaner pool for people interested in trying ln2 but who don't have equipment. If anyone has extra stuff they could bring, please let me know and we can start keeping a list. Finally (at least of what I can think of atm) is the matter of vendors and sponsors. A couple guys have said they'll be able to bring some hardware and another has said that once we have a total estimate (venue plus ln2), they will speak with their rep and see how much they might be able to help offset some of the costs. There's been a suggestion that since having sponsors can be a double-edged sword (having to stream video, results, etc) that we're better just doing everything on our own. As I've never had any experience getting an event together (or dealing with sponsors, vendors, etc)...am very open to everyone's thoughts on this topic! So...that's where we are atm. Again...any thoughts, ideas, suggestions or assistance with any aspect of the event planning or execution would be hugely appreciated! Getting excited now and look forward to meeting everyone there/then!!!! -Stefan

Good one Joe!

Booming Alby! Great sub

Decent psc quad sets have been going for around US$150 lately. These are beastly...maybe $100-120 for the pair? I'd certainly be interested!

Getting there folks! Anything ya'll could do to help get people interested (and casting their vote) would be awesome!

Thanks MaddMutt! Not sure why but seemed to hit a floor of 2.499. Even adding another 30-40Mhz on the cpu didn't change the result Will have to try this one again at some later point in time. Still...a decent improvement over my prior sub.

Nice one Bass! Hopefully you get that beast up to speed!

Well...maybe not Bassman, he's kind of a special case ;P

Thanks again folks! Gotta say, one of the things I love about this hobby of ours is that everyone I've come into contact with is really so nice. Great bunch!

Darnit! Frickin' woke up big dog Hate when that happens Thanks XA

Thanks Rod!

Thanks folks! Ya'll are frickin' awesome!

1000 6-7-5 is excellent! Have you tried them on z97 by any chance? Did some testing recently...hypers around 2250-2300 8-8-8 seem best (even on z97) for wprime (2000 7-7-7 did worse as did psc at 2400-2666 7-11-7 to 8-12-8).

Thanks Bass!

Wow! You still didn't get what you need dude? Am really curious about what speeds/timings/subs/volts/etc that you're trying to find.

Guess you picked the wrong choice PM sent to Christian. It seems to not be letting people who voted before the reset (aerotracks, hotrod717, rtsurfer, steponz, TURNnBURN, Earthdog, Mandrake4565, Mr.Scott, xxbassplayerxx) actually vote in the new and improved version of the poll. Stay tuned...hopefully we'll be all set today.

Yvw and hiya jiccman! Just like the thought of getting together for mad benching (and other things hehe) so figured why not try to get something going? Any chance of a trip to PA for you??

The poll has now been reset. Please check your calendars (and with your SO's hehe) and cast your votes! We'll see how it goes but we really need to get this figured out fairly soon so, we'll need to start thinking about setting a deadline (maybe 4/15-ish?). We'll play it by ear for a couple weeks and see where we are at that point. Also...it'd be great to have extra pots to lend beginners. If anyone has extras they could bring, that'd be excellent. Please let me know in the thread and I'll put updates in the OP. Getting a little excited! Pretty sure we'll have an excellent time. Tia for votes, ideas, etc!!! -Stefan

pm sent on gpu pot

Awesome! Look forward to seeing all you guys there! Hoping to get the revised poll up soon, we should aim to figure out the date by the mid/end April so we can start making the needed arrangements. Couple of folks are already checking out potential venues

PM sent

Greets Folks! After killing a couple, am on the hunt for some good psc that do 2666 8-12-8 air with 1.85v or less (maybe 1.89 or less). Want sticks that'll be good for taking cold and capable of some 6-10-6 action. Please let me know whatcha got and how much you'd be willing to take for them. Thanks! -Stefan

Sweet! Getting a little interest! Would be great if we could start getting a count together (even if it's only 6-10 ppl) so we can start looking in to places and making needed arrangements. I know the dates are still pretty far out there but hoping we can get a bunch more people. Let's see if we can get the poll fixed sometime this week. We're going to have to set some sort of deadline so we can start researching and getting things booked. Totally psyched for whatever and whoever we manage to get together!!!

Hiya aerotracks! As long as it's not a pita for you, never hurts to ask imho. The power situation is the best, initial question to ask (other than, "Would you be willing to have a bunch of oddballs at your place"? hehe). That said, of course, I have no clue what or where the West Shore is...assuming Harrisburg area. Tia for your offer of assistance!!!
