DealBot 2 Posted May 26, 2006 You would think that it would be easy to find a seat with 200 computers, but this author waited 30 minutes for a computer station to open up. Space is scarce, as families and groups of friends routinely come in and reserve banks of machines. http://digg.com/gaming/Crazy_ass_Cyber_Caf...of_gaming_rig_s Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Billco 0 Posted May 28, 2006 This will probably go bankrupt in 6 months. I love their setup, it looks real spiffy and 200-player ad-hoc lan parties are sexy, but it is almost certainly funded by sponsorships and sales. Cyber caf?s are costly affairs because you don't make much money per square foot, and the costs are high - gaming rigs are expensive, and must be upgraded fairly often to support the latest games. Just because you and your mates have been playing CS for 6 years doesn't mean the average joe won't play HL2 or Fear. Part of the appeal of a gaming caf? is having access to high-end rigs you couldn't afford yourself, or can't justify the expense (yet ). I know, I tried running one years ago. It hurt my bank account REALLY BAD. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
