Seems like a neat idea, but I feel that just about anyone that needs to buy it, shouldn't be holding a LAN party because they haven't been around the block enough.

The biggest issue I have ever seen at LAN parties is cooling. Most ACs can't keep up with 30 or more computers and people in a single house, fans are a must.

Martyr and I need to tell you guys about how we modded a garage for a LAN party... now that was fun.

Especially seeing as his parents had a wine party going on inside the house at the same time... imagine... geeks outside playing Aliens vs. Predator 2... drunkards inside wanting to come out and play...
