I know a guy who had a business like that about 12 years ago, I spent a lot of time there and learned a lot about running the whole thing.

Here are some problems you may face:
-People may use it as a place to run scam or blackmail operations.
-If you allow them to install whatever they like, it will most likely be pirated software and trojans.
-You have to calculate the cost of daily cleaning your computers. You'll quickly learn that people rarely wash their hands or turn away from the screen when sneezing.

nah, I saw a gaming center earlier that had something like it's own OS, so you couldn't screw around the computer and download shit, you could just pick a game you want to play from a list or pick a browser you want to start

also other popular services were there like xfire,skype and others

I'm looking for something like that but don't know where could I find it Undecided

LAN gaming center would be the name you're looking for.

There are definitely programs that lock computers after time is up, you can also directly put coins 'into the computer' to activate them, like the ones at hotels. Good luck if you decide to follow through with this venture OP.

I never heard of such a thing Cheesy

thanks
