My bigger concern about the LAN checklist these days are the games.
We use to have huge Unreal Tournament LANs, Dota LANs, COD MW LANs, but very few of the new games support LAN play. If you are all just gonna clog up the same internet line its much easier and cheaper to just game from home.
Not enough games still have the LAN option. Its frustrating and it is killing my LAN hobby.
