Update 05-Apr-14: Wrote a Kinja article on what it took to build this.
Also, some pictures from what we dubbed the "EPIC WARFARE NIGHT", where we pitted 30 players against each other in Warfare:

Update 27-Feb-14: After so, so many sleepless nights at work and over 90 hours of planning and tweaking, I've finally inaugurated the new gamers club I was referring to below. We have 30 licenses for UT3 and 18 for UT2004 and UT (and a couple of licenses for some other games), and I've launched a dedicated server for all three on the master server residing in the room. Here are some more pics, you might want to take a look.

Hi guys,
It's been quite some time since I last posted here.
Anyway, just wanted my 2c on the walls of the glorious BuF:
UT3 is awesome. And this is coming from a guy who started with UT back in 2002.
So, anyway, let me tell you about a gamers club I've established at my workplace, and you can guess what the primary game is: UT3 of course!
We got a budget to arm an office with 12 PCs with GPUs and headsets, and we set up a Linux server running Murmur (voice chat), UT3-server, and a script which samples the WebAdmin UI for the remaining time connected to a projector. We even put red/blue LEDs on the walls to help newbie employees know which team they belong in!
The server is patched to the latest version and has the following stuff installed:
* All the CBP maps and some classic remakes too
* Gibalicious
* Nyancat Redeemer
* UTcompIII
* WebAdmin
* Bombing Run
* Double Domination
* foxMod AI improvements
* Titan (we don't enable it that often anymore)
The club's been running strong for nearly a year now! We even have plans to move to a room with 30 stations!
So, without further ado, here are some pics:

P.S. I think that if they should ever consider UT4, they should just re-release UT3 2.1 with more UI functionality and with the major bugs and limitations resolved (demoguy, hit detection, voice chat, etc.).
