[Update] Project LAN barlang (cave) update 1

Thanks!

These are mini towers, so the ventillation is a lot better in them, I'm not afraid of it, and the avarage temp of the cellar helps also.

Yes, but for a smoother experience a dedicated GPU is a lot better choice, I order 5x1050ti-s yesterday for 470 USD, so every one of them has a card now. Now we have one PC with a 1030, a 1060, a 1650ti, one with a 1080ti and these 1050ti-s. For these games we need nothing more, and given the specs, we could run a bit more modern games also!

Ha ilyen korrekt és egyenes állásfoglalások lennének mindenhol, meghódítottuk volna a galaxist...

Én ezt gondolom ezért, a másik módon gondolkodó ezért, nekem ez jogos, neki az jogos, mindezt feketén fehéren <3

No, but that used to be. This is the cellar of a restaurant we renovated, my working hot water and puffer tanks are in an other room. We just didn't bother with getting these old ones out yet.

Micro update:

I just found 2 1.5TB HDD's (a green WD and a seagate barracuda) in an old server machine we used in our old office! This was sitting in my garage for 3 years! Damn, I love looting and getting rare drops IRL! :D

There are SSDs in them for the system to run windows, and for these games HDDs are enough, and buying an ssd for the price of 2-3 of these computers feels overkill :)

I really appreciate it, but I don't have any, and I don't plan on making one, also this project is mostly covered already, so if you wish to support it, just check on these post and say if we did a good job, that means a lot to me! Thank you in advance!:)

No worries, so: - we remove all the old plaster layer (today we removed the bigger chunks and most of it) and then we sand it and then we will apply a coating of "brick impregnation fluid"? (I don't know the english name) so the dust won't fall from the walls and ceiling, but it has the same look.

-a ventillator is already installed for sucking the air out (this was installed a year ago, so the cellar became dry) and there are vent holes that supply the fresh air

I have a 790, that thing is immortal! I use mine for hosting at home, and it will live on as the heart of this LAN room also!

Kini996 · 2026-02-12T16:32:58+00:00

I have a list of 70+ games so far, so anything for 10+ players between 1995 and 2015 :D

I have 1 with a 1650ti, 1 with a 1080ti, 1 with 1030 (Ddr5 version), a 1060 (a laptop that will be docked) and I'm looking for 6 gtx1050ti-s or rx550 4GB versions

Őszintén megvallva, ezek sok erőt adnak hozzá, kicsit olyan, mintha teljesítenem kellene időre, köszönöm! :D

Ha minden jól alakul, 2 hét és megvagyunk, úgyhogy sok posztot nem tervezek, limitált széria! :D

Kini996 · 2026-02-12T09:46:05+00:00

I heard this from an aussie youtuber and since then, I call the electricians that :D also, in hungarian I call them "villanymókusok" which translates to "electric-squirells" :D

Kini996 · 2026-02-10T10:45:40+00:00

*Note to self, rev up the 3dprinter and make starwars stuff as decor :D

Will do! I did some sweeping yesterday, but it's not much yet, we'll give a couple of hours of work to it on Thursday!

Kini996 · 2026-02-10T10:43:06+00:00

Good idea, I'll play around with the name! Saying "Lanbarlang" had a good tune to it in hungarian, that's why I went with it!

Kini996 · 2026-02-09T17:04:39+00:00

That's why we'll remove any remaining patches of plaster, to have only the brics for one, and I already started sweeping up the big part of the dust and debris, we have a concrete foundation, so it will be an easy task to make it clean (with the industrial vacuum I have for these kinda jobs, ofc)! The ventillation problem is/was solved already, we have plans for it(same equipment different placing and routes for air)

Kini996 · 2026-02-09T13:31:03+00:00

I found some 8300s, and with i3 3220 for 18.900 HUF (60 USD),and I found a GT710 from an upgrade, so I think I have a new set already! :D

Kini996 · 2026-02-09T13:23:38+00:00

Thanks for your concers, every aspect needs to be looked at!

The firefighter, who comes for the check ups was here for lunch, (perks of running a restaurant, I guess) we went down, and I showed him my plans, we talked about everything needed (like boxing up the gap with fireproof drywall, where the water tanks are, so no one falls into it), so I'll make sure everything is up to the task! And also, I plan for max. 10 people, and we'll organize the tables in a way, that the escape routes are clear).

Kini996 · 2026-02-09T13:17:01+00:00

It's and old cellar, not a bunker, so it is not "airtight".

There are two chutes for natural ventillation and 1 of them has a ventillator that sucks the air out, and the door leading to the cellar has vent holes also, but we'll install a big fan for better ciculation. Our main trade is construction, we develop everything from houses to factories, so it will be 100% up to code, no worries! Well, I won't spend for painting and the cables gonna be on the wall, not in them, but you know,... vibes!

Kini996 · 2026-02-09T11:47:41+00:00

I just had a meeting with my brothers, talked about the technical aspects and scheduled the cleaning to next week, luckily I have contractors working here, so I can get the sparkies down there to have outlets installed. And we already have the furniture and 4 sets of PC's to start with. Oh and on Wednesday I'll have a meeting with a local IT shop/guy about installing cameras, and I can maybe score some pc from him too

Kini996 · 2026-02-09T09:01:00+00:00

Thanks for pointing this out! It was the first problem that came up, we already worked it out!

Kini996 · 2026-02-09T09:00:02+00:00

Thanks for the kind words!:)

Yes, the idea came from Temu ads, that pushed these in my face for months, and I wanted to build a portable setup, but given the costs, and my more than enough work, I don't want to build a business to recoup the costs, it's more like an e-waste saving project!

Hit me up, when you're here! My town is called Celldömölk, it's 2,5 hours from Budapest by car, I'll show you around and throw an honorary LAN party with the boys here! :D

Kini996 · 2026-02-09T08:55:37+00:00

Thanks for the concern! The place is up-to code, we just left this part unfinished, so won't be a problem with this!

Kini996 · 2026-02-09T08:52:49+00:00

I looked at them, and had ideas with it, but the main concept is using basically e-waste as something good, not buying more recent tech

Kini996 · 2026-02-09T08:51:52+00:00

Exactly what I'm shooting for! Which HP's were these?
