You may come across an internet cafe by many names: as a Cybercafe, Web cafe, PC cafe, or a Net cafe. They all have one thing in common — they offer an internet connection from their computers to their customers.

The typical internet cafe normally starts with the entrepreneur who wants to start a business. He asks how much a PC costs. He then sets up a budget for 5, 10, 15, 20 PCs, depending on location that he could find. Then he starts computing so that, say, if he rents it out for 20 pesos per hour, and if it averages 8 hours of usage per PC, then he would get a certain gross amount for the entire month. Less all the expenses, then this is what he’ll earn. So this is the normal thinking of a startup i-cafe.

      you need at least 22k per pc pang gaming na un. kung sa 15 pc dapat po may 330k ka.pero kung maliit lang po puhunan mo buy kanalang po muna ng 10 pc. tapos need pa po nyo buy ng OS original may bundle po ang microsoft for 5pc no idea po kung magkano exact na price. dapat din po may alam kayo sa computer para po personal nyo po na mahawakan ang negosyo ng maayos bihira na kc makakuha ng trusted na technician. i have my own cafe here at QC mas tipid kc kung ikaw lang din nag mementain ng pc mo. :)
