This would have been the house of my dreams in high school. I used to draw out how I’d have a dedicated room with tables against the walls and 8 of those original iMacs each with a (separately licensed because the idea of having more than one license to a given game felt like wealth to me) copy of StarCraft, ready to play at all times.
That said, when I read this, my interested was most piqued by the infrastructure description. Racks, cables, netbooting, automatic updates… almost makes me want to build something like this myself just to design that part (I’d never have time to actually play games on it of course).
