I just copied the contents of BF1942, BF2 and COD to my HDD… it is shared on the network.

I DL’d all of the patches and a bunch of mods for people to pull off the network.

I have 4 PC’s running off of the same key for BF2 no problem… they are on the same outlet too.

Power is a concern of mine… thats why I bought a UPS today while I was at Circuit City.

I have a 24 port Dell in front of me… and another 24 port gigabit switch coming later in the night… just to compare the 2.

Since I just got my BF2 disk back from a friend… I realized it won’t play in 1920x1200… thought that was weird.

COD5 won’t play on 1/2 of the machines…

I can’t even get COD4 to work on a couple of these. I’m hoping some of my fellow nerds in attendance will be able to figure it out.

As far as people from here coming… it is still a standby list.  
Billy  
Josh

I really don’t want to make anyone already RSVPd uncomfortable.

**Is there anyway around the power problem?**

Guys who are interested -

PM me your numbers. I’ll call in that order (behind Billy and Josh) to fill any empty spots I have.

I don’t want to discriminate… but I’m shooting for 20yrs and over.

Jack, take people BEFORE me. I’ll give you a ring when I’m out of work to see if you guys are still playing. I can just jump on when someone needs a break.

Can’t wait. Just stole my brother’s 800GT so I can at least attempt to keep up with y/all.

Also just cleaned out my case… it was sooo dusty.

You’re looking at a couple AMPs per computer…See how many AMPs your breakers are and do the math :lol:

wow Justin… that was very technical of you.

A couple amps?

Thats 20 per breaker… so 10 comps. I might have 2-3 breakers for the basement, so I should be fine.

What do you mean power is a concern of yours? Spikes? A UPS won’t control draw at all…

As for the power issue… install more breakers to shorten the load on each circuit. Know any electricians who can hook you up? Does your breaker box have any open spots?

Do not attempt to do this alone… you will end up dead 🙂
