$35 LAN Party...

[Colin McGregor]

At one time I took an interest in LAN parties, people getting together
to play the same game against each other in the same room. The
problems with LAN parties for me were things like moving desktop PCs
and LAN party people seemingly "needing" high end graphics cards that
were more expensive than what what I would pay for a whole PC.

This is all a long way round to ask if there would be an interest in a
Raspberry Pi (the $35 (US) computer) "Open Arena"
(http://store.raspberrypi.com/projects/openarena?adult) LAN party?
Okay, you can't get a Raspberry Pi fully running for $35 (you need a
keyboard, mouse, SD card, power supply, etc.), but still... In other
words, reasonable cost for entry, plus carrying a Raspberry Pi,
keyboard, mouse, LCD monitor, etc. (assuming you don't go for say a
50" screen) could all be done in a typical knapsack / canvas shopping
bag.

Thoughts?
