[SOLVED] Multiple computers.

[70431]

I'm looking to set up a lan-party.
I would say anywhere from 1 to 8 computers.
The games wouldn't require beefy computers either.
I can fix older parts (bad capacitors, replace thermal paste cpu/gpu, and thermal pads)

A. Buy 4 to 8 cheap gpus like Dell R7 250 or R9 360, buy motherboards with at least pci-e x16 3.0, CPUs that don't require a-lot of power, and maybe some energy efficient PSU.
C.. Build a beast but I'm unsure how to get multiple keyboards, mice, monitors, and OS-- I'm sure there is a program to help with that.
D. Your choice goes here.

Budget?

And if you do not want to do B, then take B off of the list. Laptops are indeed more problematic....

Likely A has a number of available options: One of those options could become B. Along with a C, a D, etc....

Like 2 to 3 grand

For your C option...
Multi seat, from several years ago

That will completely exceed your budget.

Agree with above.

8 Windows Licenses and 8 GPU's are gonna be $1,600.00 of your budget, at least.

At 8 PC's that's 375/PC.

I'll stick with choice A. Thank you all, for your input.
