    How much power would that use, and how loud would it be from fans alone

    Lan = Local Area Network.

    Folks would pack up their desktop gaming computers and gather in a hangar type environment to play Quake and Unreal based multiplayer games. Sometimes Real Time Strategy Games.

    They were before the Internet was widely high speed, and so LAN parties were fun because there'd not be much lag compared to 56k dialup experiences.
