While I truly do enjoy the large scale thinking, it may be a little overkill. For tournaments at our lan party, we run our first rounds on the BYOC computers. For the final rounds, games are played on a 10 identical pc's in a room seperate from from the BYOC area. So if someone is cheating on thier own computer, then they will be found out for the fraud they really are in the end. This isn't a perfect solution, but reality/cost dictates that for most lan parties this is a good way to keep everything as fair as possible.
