Don’t sweat it. Bring whatever you can game on. Last year I brought a MicroATX box I cobbled together for about $50. Pentium D 805 and a GeForce 8600GTS. If you use a smaller monitor, you can squeeze some performance out of lower end video cards. I brought a 19″ 4:3 LCD and was able to run all my Source engine games, and BF:BC2 on low. I saw a lot of people playing TF2, Starcraft, Heroes Of Newerth, League of Legends on smaller systems and subnotebooks. If you need to play something that won’t run on your system, you can always hop over to the PC Freeplay and play on the rigs Intel / Nvidia bring.
