Might there be a microwave available to heat up food?

Unfortunately, we do not have access to a microwave where we are located.

That would be a good mod. Make it so the graphics card heats up a plate to cook hot dogs on.

That last email had me scared for a sec. Maximum is 24" monitor?!?! I'm glad that one was corrected. I thought I was going to be an outlaw and show up it a 28".

What if for a PC Case mod they used a microwave and made it so that it would still heat up things? would it still be allowed at the LAN since it's technically a PC?
LOL i like thinking of silly situations!  :P

No problem, we'll have a few forms ready for anyone that forgets one.   It just speeds things up if you already have a form.  See you in a few hours!
