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

QUOTE
do i need top buy 10 UPS too?
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"
