I loved lan parties. I hated moving my 17" CTX crt monitor to them. It was as deep as it was wide and must have weighed damn near 40 pounds.

The future ain't all bad.

Heh, during college I bought a pallet of 500 Eizo monitors and resold them for a nice profit (covered my fees that year). I cherry picked the three nicest Eizo T965 monitors. Man was that a sweet setup.

Damn near broke my back, my desk and cooked my bedroom in Summer running it though. Needless to say LAN parties were hosted at my house since no way I'd be lugging that setup around!

I had a 19" CRT which was terrifying to transport. Later I met a friend in college with a insane 21" CRT. Transporting that thing was like a proper move.
I had a big 21" CRT that would go to LAN parties with me. It took me and a friend to move it, and it once broke the table it was put down on with its weight.

Amazing monitor though.
