LOL I remember when I first got my XBox and I told two other friends to get XBoxes and we all had Halo.
Well every week end we would all go to Rob's place and have Halo LAN parties. We would get as many people where at one time, never got 16 people there, got 12 once.
Any way, we had four XBoxes, so we needed four TVs and a bunch load of RJ45 cable. Since the switch was in Rob's room and the house was long and the other three TVs were at the other end of the house. One was in the living room, and the others were in the other two bed rooms. We had to run cable all over that house.
So I know what ya mean by running cables. I wish I had the money at the time to get wireless stuff. Once Rob's dog chewed thru two of my cables at the same time... Damn dog.

With kinda put a swift end to that Halo party.
