Lan Party Questions

guyrollz · 20-July-04, 04:20 AM

Hey guys,
Im thinking of having a lan party with some of my friends. My house wont support over 12 comps on at once so im looking for a place to rent out for like 2 days. Im wondering how many amps ill need for like 15 comps and what ill need to make the lan run smooth. If anyone lives in York, PA and knows a place around to rent out, plz let me know. Any info will help, thanks.

If its just going to be a few people you can use this guide:

If theres going to be maybe 25-50 then your gonna want to use this guide:

And one other thing make sure that your equipment works before everyone gets there (make sure you have time to get it replaced), I mean try out your switches/routers make sure you have file sharing setup if you want to make sure everyone has the same files and versions of the games and any other things. Make sure that you have plenty of long CAT5 cable so everyone isnt cramped within a couple feet of the switch/router. Or you could always go wireless but that can be even more expensive for everyone.
