Virtual Game Room: Equipping and Setup

This was a question that came to mind for JP in specific, but I’m interested in input from the whole community.

If budget was not a concern (thinking in the thousands, not a second mortgage), what would your ideal setup be to create a non-streamed virtual game room to allow folks across the country to play together? I’m curious about cameras, mics, software packages, etc. that you feel would enhance communication and gameplay. I would also like you to consider both solo and partial group cases; that is situations where two or more players are in one location, and others may be solo or in similar groupings.

From the software side, obviously some elements would be very game specific, but I’m interested in examples or solutions from all cases.
