I went to a ~6 person LAN party once that was hosted in my friend's room. His room is a nice place to sit by yourself and use the computer, but when there is a substantial amount of people inside, you can barely move around. I ended up on top of his overturned bed base, with my computer between my legs and my monitor on a fold-open table. There was another guy using the bed base as a desk right beside me, and then the rest of the people were sitting behind the bed base against the wall. It got very cramped and (needless to say) very, very hot and humid. We decided to open the door at about 12 o' clock at night to let out some of the carbon dioxide soup that had accumulated inside the room. Oh! There's another thing I would like to mention. Have EVERYONE run an up-to-date virus checker BEFORE you hook the computers up to the network. I accidentally brought a "Haptime" laced box to the LAN, it did not exactly improve the LAN party.
