Heaven Angel Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 If you are planning to to run the place only with PC's then you'll need LAN connection or you need high tech gaming PC's to attract customers... Or you may invest more and start with consoles .. it's better choice and people prefer it more .. There are LOTS of games that you can start with ... GTA, CS (PC), Fifa, Tennis ... are good choices... Later on you can upgrade it with lot better .. Just a piece of advice friend.... But do whatever your heart says..

Rohan S Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 If u are going to buy a LAN gaming cafe, then get a large screen monitor atleast 22inch screen...good graphics card and good games! I would suggest to get two 27inch monitor and one 3D monitor to attract crowd...U can keep higher rates... Make sure these systems look cool with modding....glowing side panels...good looking stickers....this will help attract young kids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven Angel Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 And Good games is your main concern ... Big crowd will attract ... The more games you provide .. more different people gonna come by ... Then you can get high rates from them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cK! Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Alright. Here is my advice. In 5 Lakhs. You can easily assemble 10 pcs, mid end, which will run CS, DOTA , etc on good rates. And You can also install 3 LCD TVS with 2 PS3's and 1 XBOX 360. And you can spend Rs. 50k on place make over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
