"NVIDIA SLI technology provides the most cost-effective solution for my business over the long-term."

About Warezabouts LAN Center

The first Warezabouts LAN center opened its doors in Forney, Texas in September, 2006. In a town where family entertainment is limited to Friday-night hometown football games, and the local movie theater, CEO and founder J.J. Tarno saw a need for more options for affordable family fun. So, J.J. set his sights on providing a place where kids, families—and even the JV football team—can congregate.

The Challenge

In the rural town of Forney few people have access to the games and hardware that J.J. does. As a competitive gamer who frequents large gaming events, he was determined to give the people of Forney a taste of what he gets to see and experience on a regular basis. "Coming face-to-face with real players, and playing without any lag, changes the game completely," says J.J. But, stocking a LAN center with the latest and greatest technology can be a pricey investment, especially when committing to continual system and graphics upgrades.

The Solution

According to J.J., "NVIDIA SLI technology provides the most cost-effective solution for my business over the long-term." A loyal NVIDIA® customer, J.J. is well acquainted with the performance boost NVIDIA graphics give his own gaming. And now by implementing 100% NVIDIA SLI-Ready systems in his new LAN center, J.J. plans to save money too. Warezabouts' 20 PCs feature NVIDIA SLI-Ready motherboards and single NVIDIA GeForce® 7950 GT-based graphic cards. In a year's time, J.J. will move 10 of the GeForce 7950s from one half of the PCs into the other half, effectively upgrading 10 systems to full NVIDIA SLI. The remaining 10 PCs will get upgraded with new NVIDIA-based graphic cards.

The Impact

With this budget-minded plan, J.J. will double the PC lifecycle, limit costly upgrades, and save an estimated 30% over the next four years. In addition, he will give his customers the chance to play on full NVIDIA SLI PCs, for up to double the gaming performance. Most importantly, J.J. has succeeded in his business plan by providing the safe, family-oriented environment he envisioned. For the residents of Forney, Warezabouts is where you can try out the hottest games, get advice on buying your own rig, or battle it out with the rest of the JV football team on Battlefield 1942.
