TL;DR

In just seven hours, Linus and the LTT crew turned a sleepy badminton club into Whale LAN 2025—a 250-seat gaming festival complete with a stage and LED wall, custom PCs from Starforge, a VR arena, retro gaming lounges, vending machines, and more. Between steam-caching games, rigging insane power and networking setups, and racing the clock, chaos reigned but somehow everything came together before “Go time.”

Highlights include VIP Whale PCs, an 8v8 power-hungry battlestation, couch-filled retro corners, office chair shuffleboard, and even a quick “potty tour.” From mounting LED screens to wrestling with power distribution, it’s a wild, behind-the-scenes look at how you build a massive LAN party from scratch.
