Dear Solomon, Setting a cybe cafe with your specification, is a good small scale start up. Are you looking at getting branded systems? well i think you can always figure out the cost of computers of your choice. The aspect which we could deliberate on is the networking devices and billing systems. For Networking devices, i will suggest you go for Mikrotik router and Dlink switches but if you can raise a little more funds, go for hp procurve switches, for 10 pcs you could just get a 24port switch. Are you looking at providing wireless services too? for the router you could also consider Vyatta(if cost is major) Billing System: If you will be using mikrotik router, then you have no problem with billing system as mikrotik has quite a good hotspot services with the user manager package installed, you will be printing tickets in no time! Smile....
NB If cost is then a major major issue then go for a link sys router which also has wireless and use any of the widely available billing softwares, chilisoft is ok....
@Oluwaseu, You thought the guy has 1million naira to spend? Mikrotik router, D-Link switches, HP Procurve, Vyatta:-) -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube
