Bringing a computer to uni

Hey guys!
I built a gaming PC this year and loaded it with programs ready for uni, but now I'm wondering whether to take it or not.
I do have a laptop, but it's pathetically underpowered!
I can insure my computer, but I wanted to know what other people do.
I'm bringing my iMac. Need it for editing & stuff so whatever :smile:
I took my gaming rig + a gt omega racing chair to my first year of uni! and I'll be taking them back next term!

Now that's the motivation I needed! Thanks dude!
I built my rig about a month ago, I haven't even considered leaving it behind. I'm thinking of using that as my main PC and then buying a cheap Chromebook for portable needs :smile:

Hello :smile:

Do it! People bring Wii's, PS2's, PS3'S and PS4's, as well as Xbox's and other game consoles - people bring all types of things.

If you've built it and loaded it up with games for university you should definitely take it! :biggrin:
