What equipment is need in setting up a Internet / Gaming Cafe with 10 -20 PCs?
Equipment :-


Plenty of sockets where the PC's will be (Don't go using extension leads unless it's 1 PC per extension lead and they're wall mounted).





Plenty of ethernet cable. (Even better if you have the cabling from the server room to the PC points sunk in to the floor or wall)





10 - 20 PC's





Managed Hub/Switch - I'd say get one with more ports than you need to accomodate future expansion. Managed so you can set transfer rate thresholds for each PC to share the bandwidth evenly.





Server - You'll need a server so you can remotely lock/unlock your client PC's and control what they can't look at.





Router - Always handy having a router to manage the internet connection.





That should cover the hardware needs of an iCafe, software is another thing.


No idea where you'd be able to find detailed information on setting a business like an iCafe up but dropping a few terms like 'setting up an internet cafe' in to a search engine should throw up some results.
Reply:Obviously the PCs, as well as at least one router and a very fast internet connection.





As for setup info, try some of these:
