LanSlide Gaming PCs was a privately held, web-based company specializing in gaming computers, located in Schenectady, New York. The firm concentrated on producing high-performance, portable gaming desktops designed specifically for LAN party participants who valued compact and easily transportable systems.

History

Established in 2005 by avid gamers dissatisfied with the cumbersome nature of traditional desktops at LAN events, LanSlide dedicated itself to creating gaming PCs housed in cases equipped with carrying handles. Each unit was accompanied by a custom backpack intended to hold all necessary peripherals except the main chassis. Additionally, the company developed a series of 3D-capable gaming computers.
