East Delhi ka to pata nahin, but the gaming parlour WILL ROCK! Nicest config I've ever seen for the parlours! 8) People will surely get attracted if your friend will keep the prices down for playing on them.

Why are you getting 2x6600GT for the server. Better get 1x6800GS. Will be far better. Later when the business will rock (it surely will), buy another one and start competing with the 7800GTX 256.

Well .... he could instead go for an Athlon64 X2 4200+ and a 7800GT ........

ASUS A8N SLI
AMD 3200+
1 GB corsair RAM
6600 GT
WD 74 GB 10000 RPM
Logitec internet normal Keyboard & LOgitec MX 1500 mouse..

Well .... for the client pc's .... why an SLi mobo ??? he could instead go for Asus A8N-E ..... it's very cost effective and performing too .... and why a 6600GT ??? If he plans to play at low res. then a 6600 should suffice ... otherwise nothing less than a 6800GS ....

And oh .... make sure he uses proper cooling .. the rigs are going to get pretty hot under hours of gaming ....

Well as for the client PC using a SLI mobo always givs u an option to upgrade later dude !!!!!

using coolermaster Cavalier cabinets for clients &

Super-LANBOY for the server !!!!!!

wat say !!!!!!

 

[coolendra]

Oh. forgot !!!

how much should u ppl think the pricing should be per hour ?????

no dude.......

Two 6600GT on SLI gives far better performance than a single 6800GS

i have seen the with dual core procs some games like NFSMW etc doesn't work.....

wat say !!!!!!

I seriously doubt it...

Well .... those days will never come when a client pc will require SLi ...

Two 6600GT on SLI gives far better performance than a single 6800GS

Well ... it'll not .... look at this pic .....

Super-LANBOY for the server !!!!!!

Well ... i'd not recommend this ..... get a bigger one ...

how much should u ppl think the pricing should be per hour ?????

Well ... back at where i live ... it's as low as 15 bucks per hour ... but hey if the pc's are going to be so good .... then i'd say about 40 bucks an hour atleast .... for the first year or so ... then down to 30'ish .....

i have seen the with dual core procs some games like NFSMW etc doesn't work.....

And where did u hear or see this ?? A friend of mine has a X2 4400+ .... he has not faced any problems yet ..... u just need an update for windows to solve any incompatibility ......

 

[coolendra]

40 bucks per hour seems affordable...(keeping the sys. config in mind !!!!! )

 

[abhijeet_ghosh]

Hey Coolendra, I'm a Delhiite too. Where exactly in E. Delhi are u planning on opening the gaming parlour?

 

[coolendra]

it will be opened near LaxmiNagar !!!!!!

 

[baccilus]

Hi coolendra

About the price: 40 bucks an hour seems affordable. But it is very very important to give affordable options for the regulars. For example, charge 400 bucks lump sum for 25 hours or 100 bucks for 3 hours etc. . Thats a big Psychological magnet for most people. You should be better than the competetion. Tell me what you think.

 

[coolendra]

hey baccilus ....... its indeed a really good idea bout the hourly plan instad of the monthly plan.... coz in the monthly plan.ppl will misuse (overuse) the system ........

hourly basis seems to be a great plan.....

thanx dude !!!!!!!

 

[baccilus]

Appreciation... i love it .
Here's some more idea: 1) Give big group discounts. For example, if a group of people take 4 computers at a time, charge them 25 Rs an hour instead.
2) Organise gaming competetions. For starters if you can't get enough participants let the loyal customers play for free. Then reward in cash or in kind like offering bigger discounts(or free gaming). When bussines picks up, charge for participation.
The basic idea is to make it seem like high quality at dirt cheap price. But you are getting loyal customers in return which is everything for bussiness. Make sure you earn moderate profits for starters.

 

[coolendra]

Wel.. thats such a nice suggestion baccilus .....

thatnx !!!

 

[coolendra]

Hey jst forgot to ask........

wat about sponsorship !!!!!!!!!

will the cafe get some sponsorship if it is organisig any gaming competion ???

 

[mohit]

saw ur configs .. just make sure you use real good power supplies more than 450W .. and buy a good one such as Antec/Coolermaster.
