Title: Building a gamers internet cafe + Bitcoin mining. Post by: BlueStaze on August 19, 2011, 09:27:24 PM So like the title say I am in a business with the internet cafe. Where I am situated it's realy famous and I have alot of client. I want to grow my business and buy 10 new computers. I want these computer to be able to mine when they are vacant. I am ready to spend 1000$ to 1500$ per computer ( 2000$ max if it's realy improve the computer from a 1500$ computer ).
These computer also need to be able to play the newest game in the world. So I was wondering what hardware should I buy if I want to do this? Note that many computer don't ship where I am. I am situated in Thailand. Thanks you very much for your help. BlueStaze Title: Re: Building a gamers internet cafe + Bitcoin mining.

Will it's be alright for gaming and for mining? Is it still possible to beat the electricity with 300Mhash/S? :P Title: Re: Building a gamers internet cafe + Bitcoin mining.
