Hi, Firstoff, your idea could work in theory, but is not executable in a profitable manner, anyway: The answers to your questions: What kind of internet bandwidth should i get? What configuration of modem/router/switch should i go with? Any more suggestions and advice is much appreciated. -- I guess you mean WAN bandwith, get a professional contract with an ISP and get the highest bandwith you can get. You shoud invest a lot of money in quality equipment. Your desktop PC will not be able to manage 20 clients. I would recommend getting the 'modem'(gateway) that your ISP recommends. Get a good firewall like the Zyxel USG60, hook it up to a switch like the HP Procurve V1910-48G. Execute the games locally on the client, build simple systems with an i3, 4gb ram and a good gpu. Install windows, manage the clients with a windows server (Dell PowerEdge R220)with an active directory and all the other good windows client management stuff. Get proper CAT5e 24 awg 100% Cu cable. Mount everything in a 19'' rack.

As Tedster already said, neither of those devices (switch and router) are capable of link aggregation. For link aggregation to work both interfaces must support it. It's pretty basic networking. I would advise you to read this wikipedia article first, and either skip the aggregation thing completely (it's useless in your situation in my opinion) or buy new compatible gear. But I'm confused about why you used this card in the first place. Even if your setup could work, what would be the benefit? To use the 2gbit bandwith you must either have another pc with the same nic, or have a lot of clients that you serve data from your pc.

I recommend to pick up the Alfa awus036nha from either Amazon or Ebay.com. It is the best USB wifi adapter. Sells for about 30USD and can be used for almost everything. You can even setup your own AP or monitor other networks, should you wish so.

If you are thinking about the data speed between computers, there is no diffrence in your situation. If you want faster, you should use a switch as ShadowCaptain suggested. A switch is basicly a splitter for your internet cables. If you are thinking about your internet speed to connect to external websites, that all depends on the max download speed from your ISP. If it is more than 54mbps, you might benefit from a wired connection.

''the thing'' ?

Maybe a GPU problem? Since you have no output on your monitors. Electronic devices are known to just break after a certain amount of time, mostly due to heat.

There is an an application called Magical JeallyBean, if you install that you can find you productkey. You should write that down. Is your CPU fan running (or the watercooling pump?)? Try removing one of the RAM, then the other.

Never a good idea to start up a pc without memory and graphics. Anyways, have you checked the PSU connections to the motherboard (do you see any ligths flickering?)? Have you connected the CPU fan connector the right way? Is the CPU fan broke (have you tried another one?)?

Hi, the following setup costs 1,233.76 canadian dollars at NCIX as of now. Intel Core i5 4670K Asus Z97-A Kingston KVR16N11 8GB RAM Gigabyte GTX760 OC Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD EVGA SuperNOVA NEX750B Zalman Z9 PLUS ATX mid tower case. Intel Wireless Advanced-N 6235 Noctua NH-D14 This setup is capable of statisfing all of your requests. Good luck building! Regards, softstone

Try the following checklist. Some points are obvious, but anyway: Powercables plugged in? Can the powersupply handle the GPU power? GPU correctly placed in the socket? Have you used the right socket? Is the GPU OK? Have you tried another one? Is your MB OK? Have you tried another one? Is the GPU compatible with your MB? (firmware update maybe?) Is your monitor working? Is your HDMI cable broken? Have you tried another one? Are all of the other components installed correctly? Have you overclocked (maybe from a previous build?)? Have you tried removing the backup battery from the MB? You do not need to press f12, unless you want to go into the BIOS. Good luck, and if this checklist dos not work, I would love to help you getting this build done. Regards, softstone

Sounds like something went wrong. Have you tried to do a 'hard reset'? This involves taking out the main battery for 5 minutes and removing the clock battery. If that does not work, try giving Canon a call, maybe they have some tips. Or you could go to a local camera store and ask them for help. Also make sure to check out this link on dpreview.com.
