yeah, i am not sure what games you are wanting to play, but most online games i have ever played still require all the individuals to have the game installed but the server is what runs the actual room. for instance on half life games, everyone needs the files to play half life/counter strike and then there is a server that runs the room everyone connects to. generally the biggest hurdle to having your own server is the bandwidth speed required. but if you are only interested in LAN play thats not an issue. generally you need a good computer, but certainly not anything out of this world. i am sure a solid dual core with a couple gigs of RAM would suffice for the tech aspect. and then you would just need hard drive space that would accommodate whatever games you wanted. i used to have a counter strike server i would run from my home. it can be laggy for people though as most prodivers don't give you enough upload speed to handle all the traffic that is generated. like i said, thats not an issue with LAN though.
