LAN Party setup (~40 PC's)

If you think you have enough power as in AMPs. Get more.

We always blow breakers at LAN partys. Its all cool when listening to music. But once the gaming starts its all over. I always bring my UPS. You dont need high dollar Cisco equiptment, even though its so nice and bling.

I have hosted LAN partys. 20 or less people and probally 10 people from the interwebs. Hosted on a dual P3 500 MHz with 512MB RAM. No problems. But this was back in the WON days...

Just thinking out loud now...

Anyone experiment with NIC bonding on Linux to help with throughput to the game servers? Just wondering if you've seen performance advantages.

Done it for Windows...but really no advantage. Gaming is lots of little packets of data....not high volume. Remember my public gaming server....when fully loaded she barely exceeded what a 10 meg NIC could do for throughput.
 
Yeah I used to bring my UPS to LAN parties too and we blew a breaker almost every time. I'd have like 6-7 computers on it and it'd keep 'em up 'til we got it fixed.
