Now THIS is a lanparty switch!



EDIT: Some specs.

5412zl chassis with 8 24port 1Gbit POE network modules (192 ports), one procurve 802.11A/B/G control module, and 4 875w power supplies. This one switch will run our entire Chicago office >.>

How're you going to tap all of those? ;)

Is it PoE? I think that's what the yellow underneath means...

That's either one WOW server or eight TF2 servers. I'll take the latter. =};-3

Butbutbut... what if you have more than 191 friends at your party?!

Oh, hang on, I know the answer. Butbutbut... what if you have more than 287 friends at your party?!

(5412zl, right? How many PSUs? Crikey, just looked them up and they're into the multiple thousands of £ even for a bare chassis with no power supplies or ports. 'Spensive stuff...)

Or...

...somewhere between 24 and 48 Left 4 Dead servers. =^.^=

Next time I build one, I'll show you a picture of a 40 blade system servers with dual Xeon 5450's rack.

And if you have a spare quarter million dollars, I'll build you one.
