How far would you travel for an OC event?

[Massman]

... and how much would you pay?

 

Just a question that came to mind when checking out the posted for the Cambridge Big Freeze weekend.

 

Let's say, the set-up is as follows:

 

- one weekend

- unlimited ln2

- 50~100 overclockers attending

- pay own travel

- pay own food

- sleep on floor next to bench setup

 

How far would you travel and how much would you pay for the trip. Unrelated to anything HWBOT has planned whatsoever at all ...

Going to Toronto in June for the OCN bench/lan event, that's pretty damn far

[Massman]

Furthest I went for a bench session was probably Finland; about 1400km and €400.

Simply everywhere

[Leeghoofd]

As long as there is LN2 and Marc Badger Beier present I'll go for it !!

[TaPaKaH]

my budget would be ~200 Euros for flight/hotel + however much alcohol costs ... the biggest problem, IMO, is that such events are usually announced <1 month in advance so there's no chance to order cheap airline tickets

[M.Beier]

I'd do it if I knew a bit more in advance, cannot spend that sort of money on short notice as a student.

 

As for economy I'd spend ~300 Euro at max probably, on transport.

As for time in advance; I'd need 2 weeks notice, minimum

 

Distance; Dont care... I have even considered one in Kuala Lumpur...

<400-500€, and no metter how far by car/flight it is.

I paid around £200 on transport for Campus Party last year and that was just 5 of us in total (and the friends we made when we were there) For 50-100 overclockers I wanted to meet and there was gonna be actual benching, i'd be happy to pay more. I just need notice.

 

...though I prefer places without mental admission checks. E.G..... America.

Not what I have heard!

Well.... on paper, it looks nuts.

 

It would be AWESOME if there could be a MASSIVE international OC party. I know it would cost a fortune to organise though. The venue.... the elctricity... the LN2......

How far would i travel for an OC event?

-> go pretty much anywhere in the world. Max flight time set to 20 hours total tho. Stockholm-Taipei is about maximum.

 

How much would i pay for it?

-> max 300 euro's if it's really worth it. Usually that is what train tickets + preparation and random thing costs to join MOA.

I spent close to 1xxx$ for that asus event.

 

20 guys from all over the usa. some guys had to pay for airfares. some guys stayed @ jake's place. costly event.

 

meeting team.pure and team.oca and team.rog was well worth it.

The further place i travelled for an OC event was Finland as well, i think it was around 350€ for flights, it was really worth the money though

 

For distance i wouldn't mind if it's really worth to, i'm considering to go Computex and the "cheapest" fligths are 30+ hours trip with stops, that's pretty insane, but i "have to go" one year

I am still kicking myself for not coming out that weekend:(

 

back on topic, if I knew far enough in advance and it was not during seasonal work then whatever/whenever sounds good.
