We’re turning a row of gaming PCs into a plug-and-play 8v8 LAN station by pre-configuring 16 mini-ITX rigs that boot straight off the network. The goal is lightning-fast setup, low power draw and fool-proof maintenance—no more hunting for patches or wrestling with cables mid-tourney.
After weighing virtualization against standalone machines, the team went all-in on 16 Minisforum BD790I X3D boards, G.SKILL DDR5 SO-DIMMs, Crucial NVMe SSDs and PowerColor RX 9070 XTs, all powered by a 750W SFX supply. Toss in a network-boot management system, rack-friendly cases and thorough stress tests, and you’ve got a sleek, rack-mounted LAN beast ready for rapid deployment.
