i decided to help my friend to set up a small cyber cafe. i am planning to begin with only 10 PCs. the cost of 10 PCs aside, what else should i need to buy in terms of hardware? router? what type? cables? bla2.. do i need top buy 10 UPS too? and what software should i use to monitor all the PCs? do i have to install games n software at each of the PCs? please help and explain in as much details as u can. please.. thank you

buy reliable router & 16/32-port switch should do the job.
cat5e should be enough for today.

1x UPS need for billing PC.
AVR* optional (CC located area that electric surge very often, AVR should do the job)

I. install basic software & games at single PC, then deploy image/clone to multiple workstation
II. try google "cyber cafe diskless"

cat5e is a brand or type of router? i am a real noob here.





i dont quite understand the phrase "CC located area that electric surge very often, AVR should do the job" means. u mean put AVR on each PC?

thank u for the very good reply.. i will put it on my reviews

cat5e is Network Cable.

AVR u need only for PC at Counter using for payment.
