Hi all!
My cousin is planning to start an internet cafe and wanted me to find some nice configurations.
He has a total budget of2k to 2.5k[EDIT: I mean Lakh, not thousand 
].(better with "as low as possible"). He needs total 20 computers.
1. What is the purpose of the computer? (Note: If you are planning to say multimedia, you will have to be more specific as all types of systems are capable of doing that)
A: For use in cyber cafe.
2. Are you open to alternate ideas/products giving similar better performance but offering more VFM/ sellers? If not- why?
A: yes.
3. What is your MAX budget?
A: 2-2.5 Lakh, so around 10k per computer
.
4. Planning to overclock?
A: No.
5. Which OS are you planning to use?
A: Half will run Windows xp and half on 7.
6. How much hard drive space is needed?
A: I don't think more than 250GB is necessary!
7. What resolution will the screen run at & whats the size of the screen you want? If you already want have one and want to use it, mention its resolution and size.
A: He says any monitor from 15"-20" would be nice.
8. How would you rate your hardware knowledge from the count of 1-10? (1 being the lowest, 5 being you are somewhat in sync with the current performers and 10 being the highest)
A: 2-3.
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
A: Most probably assembler, but not completely decided!
10. When are you planning to buy the system?
A: Depends when the construction of his cafe will complete. This can take 1-2 months.
11. Are you one of the types looking out for "future proof" configurations?
A: Yes, should run for 5 years.
12. Are there going to be any components that you don't want to include in this new rig? If yes, do mention.
A: GFX Card, Speakers...
13. Which city do you live in and are you open to buying from shops from other city/states?
A: Will buy from Delhi.
14. Mention any other points if deemed necessary
A: He also needs some headphones and webcams(5 each), and I guess some from iBall etc would be nice as its cyber cafe!
He also needs inverter to provide 30 mins backup for atleast half of the systems.
Also 3 printers(2 for black n white & 1 for color) are needed, that will be used very frequently(say 10 prints per printer per day)
He is also asking me to ask you people to give some suggestions if you can
He didn't said me to post whats below:
He is also saying that he will use 4 different connections for computers(5 computers using 1 internet connection) to get better speed and if one internet is not working well, others do. Is this idea good?
Also he is saying he will have a small snacks section
EDIT: He is saying that there should be 2 type of computers(different configs). So I guess it would be like- 10 intels, 10 amds... But suggest what you can
