I think that should work. Perhaps I can come over once and bring my cd's along. (And play a game or two, since I'm there anyway. )
Oh, that's a cool idea anyway. Maye we should invite a few more: I guess a 4 player game might be fun. 'll check with the mrs to see when our common agenda has time . However, I think I should gte a hosting up and running before that! I'll try sending the files over my home network.
BTW: How come your civ is on CDs, whereas mine is on DVD?

I very much doubt a PC, without a monitor, that does not much more than host CiV all day, uses 350W. You can check the maxium power use on the PC's label. It's probably 250W. A computering just running is more likely to use 70-100 Watt. At any regular electronics or home improvement store, you can buy a Watt meter for about 20 euros.
