We are into flip cup a lil more than beer pong. I dont have the patience!
The table isnt 4x8 by any means but it was right around 1500 caps or so to do this. If you need any tips let me know!
Im not a big fan of beer pong but all my friends are, so I kinda just go with it lol. Flip cup is fun but theres not to many people that I know that like to play alot. Our table is 4x8 and we already have about 1400 on the table and we are half way done. When we get it together Ill take some pics.

Thats awsome, I convinced them to let me put some tops to dip cans on our table. We needed a spot for the water cup so we used a dip can top.

Here it is in case no one knows what beer pong is

No offense, but I'll never go Intel again for my personal machines. Seems like I always end up with an Intel Laptop from work though.

Not sure on XP's RAM limitation. I will be putting XP on it with 2GB of RAM & 500GB HD. Since I work at Samsung, I can get really good deals on monitors. I'll actually give her mine and get a Samsung for me...

Sounds good to me! Yall throwin a fiberglass resin ontop or what?

My only regret is not cutting a hole in mine so you could slide the beverages to the hole and underneath would be a trashcan...it was an afterthought though!

Beer pong took off everywhere it seemed. Id been playing flip cup since I was a junior in HS and beer pong was just to slow for me I guess. A lot of my friends were around so long they had no choice but to pick it up. Even the ones who swore by pong converted to FC! Even thought about competing in the World Series of Flip Cup and it was actually in Baltimore!

Yea were going to try too, we cant find the right stuff around here but we have talked to some people who can get it.

Nothing we have is set in place yet and were always throwing around ideas. I think we might have some neon lights in it but Im not sure yet.

My two roommates have never lost a tournament of BP when they play together, they are so good its not even funny, its actually scary. Im not to bad at flip cup, we just dont play enough.

I just cant get over the size of hard drives now a days!

When I built my desktop, oh about 3 years ago now, I bought a SWEET 160 gig hard drive!
I dont think they even sell them that small anymore!
