One rig per entrant. There is nothing in the rules from what I can read that says you cannot bring two rigs as long as one if not powered on. I have brought three rigs powered before but I also buy multiple seats. I am sure we would all love to see your mods! Maybe you can post worklogs in our modding forum.

I'm at the end in the center in the back so can I like set up a small extension for my big danger den case. There is a pillar so no one should need to walk their. I would like to as in the pass there is some room for it.
This is my last PDXlan for the next four years. I leave for boot camp aug 26.
If the table is to big and sticks passed the pillar I won't put it up.

I'm sure eventually a staff member can come along and answer your question but we do know a few things. PDXLAN has to adhere to all fire codes, so aisles have to be a certain width and unobstructed. If your extension extends into a walkway where people might need to be in case of a fire then it will be a no no. You're probably right that it wouldn't be a problem for normal foot traffic as most people don't walk around the back. So first consider the fire code issue and then make sure you get approval.

this should of been posted in questions, i'm moving it there.
-PDXLAN seats are 600Watts per seat, 3 feet wide.
-ALL computers must ALWAYS be on the table, NEVER on the floor
-You CANNOT run any of your own power extensions off walls or pillars or floors, only plug into the power extension your badge lists. Even though you see a empty plug that doesn't mean the circuit is not used, or that plug wasn't left empty for a reason...so don't do it
-The lan tables don't align to the exact specs of a diagram, but to the spacing available at that particular event in order from 1-13 (south side) 14-20(north side)...meaning table 15 won't align with a pillar every time...so there is no way before the lan to know where your table falls with such things.
PDXLAN Power Restrictions
so with the above information and your description of the situation i would say i don't see how you can fit both computers in the space and power restrictions...also our power restrictions specifically states no more the 2 external devices, such as phones and external harddrives...so it looks to imply no 2nd computers.
so you would need to buy a 2nd seat for the 2nd rig. it looks like the seat right infront of u is open, i would hurry to snag that!
as far as the mod competition, the rules are per competition and can be different...but at the last event they were one entry per person and that the computer you enter must be the computer you play on.
hope that answers all your questions.

Changed..
however we also note that most systems dont require 550.. But the limit stated is 600W
It changed like a lan or 2 ago i think.. cant remember..

For two computers, you need two seats.
Also, we can not allow extra tables to be put up for some people, if not all people have that feature. It's a matter of safety foremost, and fairness secondary.
Since Sgt had the epic fail of not moving the thread, I will. Man - he is a slacker

You mean "one case"?
Also, this would qualify as two computers, even if they are in the same case.
