Takeover 2000 was held at The Auditorium of the University of Technology (TUE) in Eindhoven, The Netherlands for the pc scene. It was the 3rd Takeover party. This year brought a number of changes for the competitions; For the first time the music competitions did NOT feature a category for tracked music (mp3 only), and the entire demo competition was now for windows-demos only. Intros could still be dos though. Amusingly, music competitions were split into house- and non-house music. The invitation promised all the usual comforts, like a big screen and great audio system. The main hall is separate from the competition theatre. A fast network would be made available, complete with internet access. The hall has space for 750 people and 600 computers. Beer and food was made available around the clock, and matches from the European Football Championships were shown on the big screen. Ticket prices were NLG 50,- (about 23 euros). The compo machine would be a p2-450 with 128mb ram, nVidia GeForce graphics card and Gravis Ultrasound or SoundBlaster 16 audio card, running windows 98. The invitation promised a colorful party booklet and t-shirts designed by wellknown scene artists (a.o. Made/Bomb!, who also did the TO98 shirts).
