MY own business!!!

did you guys miss me? haven't been around for a week or so. seems like forever... anyhow, i was busy taking care of business. yes, i am opening my own business around march. i am so excited!!! i got a 50 grand loan from the bank 20 from my parents and another 50 from my brother to open up a pc gaming room. like a internet caffee but no coffee. if you'd like to start your own business, don't hesitate to ask me.
the store is going to be located in bayside ny. that's in queens new york. i've got the software licensing and the building lease. all i need is some computer. softwares and the T1 connection was the most expensive... i am so excited that i'm sure i'm not making sense... anyways, if any of you guys live in new york or are planning on visiting ny, drop by and say hello to flavio321.

one other thing... i will be hiring some people to assemble pc's. i don't think i could do 60 pc by myself. so if you are interested and knowledged in pc assembly, email me.

Giving up hairdressing huh flav?,ROFL, Seriously though, good luck with the new venture, I wish you all the success in the world, and if Im ever in NY (unlikely though) Ill look you up.

Yeah, we get it!

You just couldn´t edit the post , huh?

Talk about shameless post account increase! :-D

Better burn in Hell with some company than freeze in Heaven all alone

What happened was I realised that I had made a spelling mistake after I hit the continue button, and I dont preview my posts, So I then hit the stop button, corrected the typo and posted, then when I went back to the forum, I realised I had posted twice, and it then wouldent let me delete it, all I got was "We have encountered an error"
The annoying thing is, it takes attention away from Flavs great news, Good on Ya Flav, go for it

If you invite Jessica Alba over there, Griz would be there in a second, and would do the job for free!

Good Luck, I along with a few others took the plunge 3yrs ago and it has been fun ....... but we opened a software house so it isn't as much fun as a games room....

Good luck.
If I ever visit NY, I will drop by.

-Gimme oysters and beer for dinner everyday of the year and I'll feel fine.

Send me the specs for the system and some money and I'll have all 60 delivered to your door within 2 weeks (hey, I have to wait on shipping too!)

Graduated Scale-make them all 1GHZ and charge $4.00 for the AMD's and $5.00 for the Intels. That way you get back the extra money you spend on the Intels. And then maybe 10 Ultra systems with 1200MHZ AMD's and 1200MHz Intels. Since you'll have so many chips, you can test and pick to see which ones to overclock for the Ultra systems. Then double the rates on those. PRO cards for the regular systems and Ultra cards for the Ultra systems. 256MB for the Ultra systems. 20GB hard drives should be enough for all the systems. And a file server to hold all the CD's on hard disk. The file server should be dual and have plenty of space in Raid 0 configuration.

Suicide is painless...........

ok, no DVD-rom nor CDRW for any of the computers. HD space is not necessary, 15gig 7.2k hd for all the pc's...
i need some info on the intel systems since i don't know too much about intel systems nor their mobos. and no ddr's.

so far i'll have LordKaos and maybe, maybe wusy. but a computer named wusy doesn't sound appealing. and crashman sounds like it's going to crash all the time.

The selling point of your business will be what? Unparalled internet access speed for gamers and access for those needing to get on for various reasons. Intranet LAN parties? T1 is not all that fast. Seems to me you would have faster access going with a networked cable modem setup using a few hubs and routers. You could ask your local cable company what they offer for businesses. Locally I can quadruple my cable modem speed which can already be as fast as 2000-3000kbps on a good day. Usually around 12000 – 16000 though which is faster than T1. Does your T1 line guarantee ~12000kbps for each pc? If not and the bandwidth is split up… What are you paying per month?

Balls, said the Queen if I had them I would be king!

There is no need to spend a fortune on Sound Cards. Your customers will be using earphones, won't they? Otherwise the noise in the gaming room will be unbearable.

Instead of a SB Live of any kind, it would be enough with a SB 128 or even 16 PCI and good earphones (and you'll need to find a way to prevent people stealing them).

SEARCH FIRST, THEN POST

What about Grizely1?

Satan Clara...... 'Nuff said.

why the hell do you need T1? screw the net! hackers will just mess it up. Just get a large network going. You don't need the internet.

ok, you guys suck. i am making up the pc's names by myself.
i finished building 5 kick a$$ computers already. check the stats:

MOBO: IWILL KK226
CPU: AMD T-bird 1.2Ghz@1470Mhz!!! (10x147fsb)
Vcard: Elsa Geforce2 Ultra 64
Sound: SB live value
HD: Maxtor 7.2k 15Gig
NIC: Linksys 10/100
Ram: ocz enhanced 128 pc-150 cas2, micron 128 pc-150 cas2
fan: fop38
other: plexi glass window and blue liquid neon light


MOBO: Abit kt7a
CPU: AMD T-bird 1.2Ghz@ 1350 (10x135fsb)
Vcard: Elsa gladic geforce2 ultra 64
Sound: SB live value
NIC: Linksys 10/100
Ram: 2 ocz enhanced 128 pc-150cas2

MOBO: 2 ASUS a7v133
CPU: AMD 1000mhz@ 1330mhz (10x133fsb)
Vcard: Leadtek Geforce2 pro 64ddr

MOBO: epox8kta3
CPU: AMD t-bird 1200@1308 (12x109fsb)
vcard: leadteck geforce2 pro 64ddr

those are the 5. every one has sb live value and ocz pc-150 rams except for the iwill system. now i really need help with the 5 intel systems. i don't know intel.
and also, i am going to make the computers look cool with plexi glass windows and round cables, neon lights. my pc's will kick other gaming rooms a$$.

I live in Illinois, but if all the parts were ordered with my shipping address, I'll be heading back to PA in a few weeks, and its not an insanely long trip from there either way, if you need help let me know...

Flavio, I'm here for ya babe-oh, your a guy, the drag had me confused WTG!
I'll help you on the Intel systems, just PM me with any questions, keep the AMD fanatics out of it as they might steer you wrong. But your going to have to name a system after me-and make it an all out performance machine, as a name like that will attract the hardcores.
First of all, I think you might be wasting you money on the Ultra cards, but hey, it' your money.
Now, if your going to be spending that kind of money on the video cards, you might as well pick up some 1GHz processors, about $70 more than the 866, which would have been my first suggestion if you had not planned on overclocking everything.
Now that I know we're in the overclocking business, I would suggest using the CUSL2-C motherboard and the 650 or 866 chipset at 150MHz FSB-that gets you 975 that's actually faster than a 1GHz and pushes the video card a little harder as well. Lie and say they are 1GHz, if you ever get caught, say you rounded it off.
You'll only need 128MB of ram for these, but it should run Cas2 at the bus speed you'll use, such as the ocz memory you suggested.
Use FOP32 heatsinks, they will protect the longevity of the processors.
Any Geforce card will work. For cheaper standard systems, I suggest the Vision Tek GTS cards, and Gladiacs for the high end systems.
Speaking of high end, you should be able to get 1125MHz out of some 1GHz processors at 150MHz
I personally would not put ANY removable media drives on the systems, it opens you up to idiots and assholes. If someone needs a game saved they can put it on the server.
Put a dab of heatsink paste under the Northbridge cooler, and use Artic Silver on the 1GHz machines.
Put the systems in a box so they can't be tampered with, and that way you can leave the cover off. Two 6 inch fans sould be able to vent an uncovered PC in an adequately sized box. You can use chicken wire on the insides of the box to reduce RFI to the room. Ground the chicken wire.
Since you are using a box, the case underneath can be the cheapest possible. It would be handy to have a slide-out drawer.
What else do you need to know?

$1/hr??? i guess it's their economy. if i charged that, i'd go belly up and i'll have to run away from the banks and my family.
there won't be any pool tables but i'll have a couch and coffee table for the waiting people (hope that couch is packed all the time). my gaming room will be a revolutionary gaming room. my computers will be better performing, better looking with 19" monitors on all of them.
there will be pc cams on 20 of the 60 pc's and unlike any other gaming rooms here in nyc, i will have parking.
the single most expensive item for my business was the timetrack-software. a british company specialize in that software. it is very unique and neat. i'll be tracking the time or pre-insert the amount of time. i can also make/scan membership cards that works as a debit card for the pc room. that alone cost me $6000.

Imagine if you will a 2'x2'x1' box made of something cheap and sturdy, like midium density particle board. Now, the INSIDE of the box holds a computer. So no one can see the inside of the box. So you can simply staple chicken wire to the inside of the box to reduce RFI, thereby eliminating the need for the case cover of the computer within.
