Well I go to big LAN parties a lot, and im the only one who usually drives, so my 240 has to fit as many comps as possible. Here's the normal packing, thats 3 towers, 3 monitors, all the networking gear + keyboard/mouses/etc, and a laptop. And I still have to fit 2-3 other people in my car besides me. Anyone else pack a buncha stuff in their 240?

Oh man, I used to do that in my old Sentra. I didnt go to LAN parties, but had a few clients out of town. Some times I had to remove the back seat (real easy to do) to fit more monitors.

haha awesome...

I think you should take the idea me and a friend had of just buying a tour bus, driving it up to the parking lot and using a wireless connection though.

That way it keeps you at bay of the horrid aroma of gamers.

ever been in a comic shop full of magic players? ugh!

Hahaha, I know what you mean. I'm coming home from college this week and my car is packed down. I'm talking like NO room for any passengers.

I would definitely say that the hatch has more room than the coupe, as I'd be hard-pressed to fit 3 monitors in my trunk.

i bet if you pull down the back seats, stack the towers behind you sideways, youd be able to fit one more monitor :). damn i miss my hatch :(

The red comp is mine, and its not buckled in its just my uber-geek computer carrying case. We couldn't fold down the back seat either because people had to sit in the back.

It's an Antec, don't remember the model number. I used to have a black version of that blue one. Great case, tons of room and stuff.

Yeah its an Antec, mine is an Aspire Turbo case. Basically the same except mine has the little eyeballs on the front and junk, super light Aluminum cases, nice for carrying around.
