This house is made for LAN gaming parties


The gaming PCs alone cost about $75,000.

The Cloudflare Workers tech lead has spent more than three years and at least a million dollars to transform his Austin house into the ultimate local PC gaming pad, complete with 22 machines and a dedicated hardware room. While some are large-scale events, Varda’s house is aimed at having groups of friends drop by, pull a gaming station out of a hidden wall or table panel, and start playing. Varda — who’s apparently hosted LAN parties as frequently as every other weekend — says most of the people who drop by are “not actually hardcore gamers.” They focus on team-based games like Deep Rock Galactic or the non-deathmatch modes of Unreal Tournament 2004.
