I believe setting up a cybercafe is more than just having a lot of computer with games and fast internet connection. How about hardware recommendations? Especially in dealing with modem, router, switches...which is the most reliable one?
What about legal matters? Licensing? Operating hours?
Software licensing... which online game needs license and which is free to install without the need of paying for license every month? How much is the license for game A? How much is the license for game B?
Serious talk only please... hopefully this thread will help those who want to open a cybercafe.

Regarding the OS licensing, if not mistaken OEM XP should be no problem since it can be considered bundle together with the computer, right? Budget wise, I read somewhere saying that using OEM license is more cost effective compare to open licensing, though the cons is that the license goes away with the PC if the PC is thrown away... not a big issue though.
Anyway.... is XP Home fine enough for cc usage? Or should we get an XP Pro instead?

QUOTE([gs) JackMin,Dec 5 2006, 11:57 PM]Eclub website : http://e-clubmalaysia.com/index.htmlAnyway the only games that doesnt require any $ for their license is MMORPG type since this type of games collect revenue frm players & game cards sold to them. which means that u can just install the game client, correct? no need to obtain any kind of license? besides Warcraft/DOTA and CounterStrike .... what other LAN games which is hot played at cafes currently?

Probably it's not a good time to set up a cybercafe. I heard that in Sarawak, all new cybercafe permit has been frozen. Darn those idiot government.

Some people said that it's still possible to have internet service (the classic cybercafe) without gaming if you're running under computer shop. Dunno how far true is it.

QUOTE(firedauz @ Dec 29 2006, 03:03 PM) Thanks for the thread merging Soulfly, appreciate the 'no bragging'-tag. Regarding that matter, got the news link about it? I don't have any news link because it was since 2004... quite an old story... which I myself also recently found out when I check for the permit with the local district council. In Sarawak, there is no more permit to open a new cybercafe, and I believe most state in Malaysia also implemented it long time already. |

Why would I rephrase the whole topic? I just couldn't see the relevance.
Suggest me a title then.
