BF2 Lan Setup

I am DOWN! Let me know whats up.

Haha. That puts a quick end to LAN parties.

Oh just plug into my power strip…POP

My PSU is 80 Plus :nerd:

Jack if you have enough power I can loan you one of these

srsly. dont tell me you are an extreme fanboy. srsly.

:lol:

No I am not…but some how I ended up with one…

People always ask about it when I show them around the office.

:ashamed:

I actually have a purple extreme switch here on my desk.

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.

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

Is there anyway around the power problem?

im definitely down so let me know if theres room… i have my own PC

What’s wrong with Extreme :mamoru:

Don’t lie you love them :grouphug:

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.

And I know someone is going to post “well my PSU says 4amps” that is max amps and not what they pull all the time…

if you have another one(for nyspeeders) i’m in…i’ll keep an eye out…

and yea i’m over 20 lul

Have some last minute parts to gather, and install. But I’m in.

Jack, did you text me earlier? If anyone has his # PM me please.

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 :slight_smile:
