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.... Regards Message: 1
