Epic power cord daisy chain from Berkeley LAN B4 Time Starcraft Tournament

It's hard to tell at the end, but that thing with a red light under the table was another power splitter.

Yes, that is 5 power splitters of various kinds in series.

There were probably like 20 computers being powered by that one outlet, comprising most of this room:

wow, and the cables didn't melt? :S well.. those are laptops after all, but still!

[moletrap]

Yeah and about 5-10 of them were netbooks. But there was a full on desktop in there, too.

Our campus has pylon technology.

You must construct additional pylons

LOL, starcraft humor is best. Btw, I love your commentaries and vids and watch them every week.

I'd like how know how you WON'T blow the fuse.

adapters generally operate in the high 80s, like 85%+ (some are 90%)

and I was assuming people are just playing starcraft, so no virus scanners, defragmenting, etc

anyway, point is still don't try this at home

[Leidenspfad]

My boss would kill me for something like this.

[TRYCLOPS1]

ppl that play starcraft are pretty intelligent... but at the time of playing with friends on lan our intelligence can be replaced with desperation... setting up a turney must be a lot of multitasking!

[rippa86]

is it just me or does that look like a massive fire and oh&s risk lol

[senekis93]

Don't try this at home.

Not if you care for your PC.

[dualkeybladeroxas]

Isn't it bad to have that many things plugged into one outlet... I mean I've never tried but there is definitely something wrong with that -_-.

[darkjeshush]

I was also exposed to a similar gaming environment, and as a result, came very close to failing at life. Luckily, the skill set gained from mastering starcraft happens to be the same skills required to operate an institutional trading desk.

wow lucky they didnt fry
