This has been attempted in CA a couple times in the past decade. Never has it worked out to be a business that can keep itself afloat financially. The right computers are not going to be your problem..... the LAN to run them will be the major costs. I use to host LAN events of 100+ every month in CA. We had a $30,000 network to run those 100 people, (Thank you Cisco for the network). Without that kind of network, and with GPL type games, your LAN *can* begin to lag just like the 'net when you have a full house

in Spain, internet costs 1 US$ hour at home (2Kb/sec is fast)... people cant play at home they need a place to play together (mostly Quake) i think is a different story from CA.... :) LeaguePlay escribi en mensaje ...
