nightsider Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 hello i need some help with course work i need to know how much it would cost to set up a internet cafe n i was thinking of some cheap spec systems somthing like a AUS bord and a AMD Sumperom prossesor and a gig of ram and a 80 gig hdd how much would u reckon it would cost for 8-10 machines for a lan party Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
apostolics Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 i would go gigabyte for best stability / performance. most asus boards arent the best solutions and with prices going down on a64 why go sempron. prolly as cheap as 600 a piece with min sys requirements. the gpu is prolly where more money will be varied. they range from 100-500 a card Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now theres this site called www.newegg.com, go on there and type in the search box what you want and then look at the prices. Write down the prices for a full system. Then multipy that price by how many machines you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze_Badger Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 There's also http://froogle.google.com, where you can find prices lower than Newegg at trustable retailers . A Sempron 3000+ would play most games just fine with an X800GTO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_lag Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 yes semprons are very fun, and easy to overclock, and can game quite well for the price you pay for them.... and Gigabyte or an MSI board both have good proformance and reliability, i have an MSI K8N NEO v2 for my 2600+ sempy and it proforms very well, and is very durable(when i was assemblin my comp i dropped it onto my hardwood floor.... but it still runs fine) clicky thats the board i have, pretty cheap, but still good, and supports up to a A64 3400+.....

kobalt Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 For an internet cafe i'd get cheap Socket A PC's you can find in surplus pc shops, that way you'd get more machines and when you're off the ground with your thing upgrade from the money you make. Remember a cafe is to do research and chat with friends when you're away or something not gaming Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardnrg Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 hehe... you could get some socket a matx boards with onboard graphics, some 2400 semprons, and like 256megs of ram each... you might be able to have an msn party, but that's about it lol... oh unless you play old-school games like Doom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FxXP Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 (edited) Surprisingly, the onboard VIA Savage graphics from the KM400 chipsets plays CS 1.6 just fine. As for hardware, I'd recommend a 2400+ or higher, nForce2 m-ATX board, and Radeon 9250/9550's to start.

LucifersMagician Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 i say host a gaming lan party and have people bring their comps then use that oney ot upgrade.. then eventually host Internet Cafe's and stuff... start off slow and make sure its gonna work out instead of starting off expensive and not even making ur money back....
