...Computer stall at festival!!

Ha that got you going. Yhe im afraid no fancy pics of building and modding I need advise from trhe rig builders. I am running a computer stall with my little brother in May at a local festival. I have been selected to advertise Broadband to the local population, and how it works, plus have working systems and quoes on site ( hell im gonna make Ã‚Â£Ã‚Â£Ã‚Â£ while im there!)

Form my somewhat little research, I have made the decision to have 2 rigs - I shuttle mini PC, and my antec rig (specs below on sig).

The shuttle is only a display model, but will soon be a curtesy system for people whos PCs im repairing. It has the lowest specs Ebuyer have to offer on and AMD based motherboard.

There is a snag in the system which is this - ITS OUTDOORS. I am praying to God on High for clear weather.

I need some extra ideas on what to show of at the stall - keep in mind these factors:

- These are humble people - not delinquent riggers.
- I have bought stock including optical mice, mats, usb pens, microfilters, USB and PCI broadband modems.
- Power generator for the 2 systems.
-Money for flat screens is impossible - I will be running 2 systems with 2 CRTs.
-My buget is small, so anything that can be done at home or for very little cost is most welcome.

Thank you all for any help given, and I will be posting many pictures following the festival.

Is there going to be a cable line out there for you to show the broadband with? if so, get a tv tuner card and have it run Cartoon Network or something as the desktop wallpaper. people get a kick out of that.
