Step 1
Select a date for your party that is about 3 weeks out from the current date. It is usually best to select a weekend afternoon or evening, Fridays work great.
-
Step 2
Call your friends who have computers that are powerful enough to support whatever games you wish to play and see who is available the weekend you are planning. Schedule a date with at least five or six people for the best party.
-
Step 3
Determine where you will throw your party. Clean out a large room or several rooms in close proximity in your house. Either will work great to setup everyone.
-
Step 4
Clear out the room or rooms you have chosen and build several stations where people can set up their PC. Each area will need a place for the monitor, room for the mouse pad and a place to put the computer's tower. Large tables work well for multiple PC setups.

Step 5
Collect multiple extension cords and ask your friends to bring surge protectors so you have enough plugs for everyone to get power for their PC and monitor.

Step 6
Purchase a network hub that has enough ports for the number of PC's you are expecting. You will also need network link cables to connect each computer to the hub and a place to plug in the hub.
-
Step 7
Decide if you will provide food and drinks or if you need to tell your guests to bring their own.

Step 8
Direct people as they arrive where they will setup, where they will get power and how to connect to your network.
