Configuring a LAN party network @ LanOC Reviews

There are several things to consider when setting up a LAN Party and one of the most important is the network.  Proper planning of this crucial element can make or break the event though don't be suprised when nobody swings by to congradulate the network guy when everything rolls off without a hitch

Nearly five years ago when we hosted our first LAN party we had no idea what to expect or any idea on how much it would grow in the future. Research online as far as what other LAN’s were using was one of the most helpful things. Because of that, as we prep for our 10th event I wanted to give everyone a look behind the scenes at our network. This should help give you an idea of what to start with if you plan on growing in the future.

Of course power would be a close second if not the first most important thing to plan for, nothing like tripping a breaker in the middle of a match to get everyone all pissed off.
