I hope I can get RAM for my 2nd computer. 2 computers makes things easier to work with. One for editing, the other for filming. If I get #3, my server computer running, than that will make posting it on the internet easier to do. I'll say, I'm a nerd with too many computers, 5 to be exact.
THE ANTICIPATION BE BUILDING!
You know, one decent computer works perfectly fine as well.
I can understand a laptop and desktop setup, but needing to use both is a little ridiculous, just set up multiple moniters if switching windows is so hard.
I've managed to accomplish 4 THAC's so far with just a Laptop. Having more than one screen is nice, but its not at all necessary.
Well, we had a snow day, and as homeshoolers, it's a snow week. 
Imma miss my buddies, but that means I can enter!! Without any obligations to get homework done! YES!!!! I think I'm in!
Yeah, its snowing here too. Probably wont last long, but you rarley get snow! 
This is my first THAC in which I have my own bed-room and I'm allowed pull an all nighter 
This is gonna be epic 
What's with all these computers? In my house there are 3, but I use only half computer (since I have a brother). And it works perfectly fine.
Well, by my calculations, I'm happy. My other christmas present came today 9 days after I had ordered it, and my webcam was ordered on the 9th, so if the webcam does the same thing (because it was dispatched and sent by the same people) I should get it in the afternoon of Saturday the 18th.
Quick question do you think it is a good or bad idea to animate at midnight?

Depends how good your lighting is.
I don't think it really affetcs your work, except for tiredness. But personally, I think it's better to animate in night time than when the sun's high in the sky, mainly because in night time you can keep your windows open and you don't melt down with you legos while animating.
Thanks for the feedback guys.
Awesome! Hopefully my first THAC and since i'm in the UK - nice lie in till noon before a sleepless night, hopefully...

It's mainly about performance. Adobe Premiere hogs a lot of resources, which is why I should have two running. Therefore I won't crash the computer while animating and editing at the same time. My computers all have less than 1GB RAM. Also, I can't do multiple monitors on one computer because I don't have the money to buy more. The server isn't really necessary, I just wanted to get the file on the internet without it taking forever.
However, I'll be getting up at 6 AM to get ready, and then get cracking at 7. I'm willing to stay up the full 24 hours.

It's better to animate when it's dark outside. That way there's no chance of the sun meddling with your carefully crafted lighting set-up.
I don't have to deal with that problem. Down here in my studio, there's only a small window. Barely any light gets in because the deck is right above it.
aw, i thought i could do this but my vaction was pushed to the 18th! Maybe THAC 9 will be my year.... 
I already have backups on all equipment and software, except a cam, but I can just use my mom's Nikon D40
1am to 1am... What a day this is gonna be
