What is the total power consumption of the system when in use? How often do packets get dropped? Have you given it a try with quake or counterstrike?

Not if they're okay with it. Humans harm themselves (or risk harm) in pursuit of some perceived higher good all the time, anything from smoking a cigarette to fighting in a battle to participating in a risky medical experiment. This is
