My current setup SUCKS! END OF LINE.

LOL I was going to link the same article.

3.2.1 Pedal to the metal. It would turn every stop light into a drag start. Not a good idea...

With MSI X-Power Heman would finally be able to ditch that douche Orko >

irritable bowel syndrome :eek:

BAMF!

EZ Clean Cooling System

This will make the ignoring of my wife complete. GIMME!

Its a completely home grown effort. Tell you friends. Going to be casual and good times for all

Running a small get together of 300 of my favorite gamers in Hillsboro Oregon. check it out if your in the area. www.juggernautlan.com Are you the Juggernaut?

Ill just let people know that file sharing is best left for when the gaming slows down in the evening. If people complain that they are suffering severe lag Ill let them its one of the 6 people on their switch and they can sort it out.

I think that you and stonecat are on the same track as me. Wiring 50 small switches will be a pain. But if one goes down only a small group people are affected, and it can be swapped out cheaply. That and if 1 table is suffering horrible lag, Ill just let them know that between the 6 of them 1...

Im looking at a few diffrent routers. The one I was going to use Linksys RV016 but its limited to a class c network. So I cant get all 300 persons on it. But I am looking at a few multi port routers and some of them you can bind ip ranges to the wan ports. so xxxx goes to one and xxxxx goes to...

Good advice on the whiners... The network is fairly segmented. But how much if an improvement are we talking about going to 24 port switches? Chances are that any given game is going to have to make at least 2 hops unless all players are on the same switch. The core switch has 64GBs of...

Im going to be running a 300 person LAN March 2010. Linksys RV016 multi WAN router. --- Internet (3x Comcast cable modems) Catalyst 4006 switch --- Core Switch 50 8 port Dlink 10/100 switches. --- Table Switches The table switches will have 6 of the 8 ports available to users. 2 tables...

I think Ill have this moved to a network forum.

What would be your suggestion? A single connection from every person into the core switch? I purchased a Cisco Catalyst 4006 switch. All tables switches will connect to it now rather then 2 48 ports, The cisco has 64Gbs of switching bandwith so I am sure itll meet the needs of the lan...

every 2 tables (6 persons) will have a dlink 8 port switch that is 100Mb those will feed into our 24 port switches that wil have 1Gb connections that will feed into the core switch. The core switch will then connect to our Multi Port WAN router, and server row. Itll be fed by 2+ comcast cable...

I see, I see....(rubbing hands together) its starting to make sense.

So would the process be somthting like this. Game 1 running on port A edit config and launch game Game 2 running on port B edit config and launch game Game 3 running on port C How would it look to the client side? Would the see games 1 2 3 or would they see one game and the server...

The main reason to VM the tourney server would be to have 6 instances of the same game running. Im not sure if you can run 6 of the same game servers at the same time. In one OS.

Not all 300 would be hosted at any 1 given time. This would be the tourney server used for prize events. So it would have anywhere from 30-60 connections at any one given time. Think of it like bracket play.

Do dedicated game servers have the graphic needs that non-dedicated servers have? In the above scenerio would it be better to only run games that have a dedicated server option?

This could be the show stopper. Ill have to really look into this.:(

I did think about that and the odds of catastrophic failure are low. But backup parts would be on hand to swap out. And if the oppurtunity comes up I would build another barebones machine that I could swap the vms into. Gotta love VM swapping.

Looking at an EVGA board with 2 integrated gigabyte connections. The rest of the LAN will run on 100Mb network where the game server and core swith router will all be on a Gb connections

Im going to be hosting a 300 person LAN. Rather then running 6 individual servers Im thinking of going with ESXi on an i7 box with 12 gigs of ram. I would like it to be able to run 6 game servers. COD: Modern Warfare 2 would be the top end game. MW2 not have a dedicated server would rely heavily...

Add a 8800GTX to the win pile. 390 degrees for 10 minutes. Perfect!
