As you know by now, SMAC will be hosting two rooms at AKFest 09.
Please use this thread to post any equipment you'd like to bring to complete systems for the two rooms.
To begin simply list anything you could bring and then we'll narrow down the choices to come up with some sort of system synergy. We can certainly have more than two systems.
In fact, if you bring something and volunteer to staff the room you can certainly setup an entirely separate system for your time in the room. Personally I think this would be a total hassle but, hey, it's really your room. Plus I like the idea of each system in each room being a GROUP effort.
It would be nice to have a fairly constant system in one of the rooms - that we could maybe alternate sources with. This would give folks a clear picture of what SMAC can do as a group. It would also limit the confusion of setting up equipment during volunteer shift changes and enable guests to revisit the room and come back to something similar each time.
But again, I'm open to ideas.
