Budget rig for an internet cafe

[loutsu]

---

Need ideas about the PC specs, unsay nindot? Cheap but can run the current games and possibly the games maybe a year from now. Pila sad presyo ani?

=) hello bro, if u want entry level gaming nd internet units, try amd, basic 5200+ x2 will do, get an nforce based mobo wich cost 2500 or less, palit 9400gt 512 for 2k+, nd a 2 gig of mem. budget kai na bro, kaya na almost all online games, =)

[VonTech]

agree ko kang merman

AMD mas tipid kuryente....

[loutsu]

Salamat sa mga suggestions, pero dili ba kusog mu init ning AMD?

[VampyR]

kusog2x sad, gamiti lng ug affordable yet powerful na aftermarket cooler

[limes]

asa sad kaha ta maka kita aning mga affordable and aftermarket na cooler? any stores na nag sell ani na mga items?

hehe, naa man sad ways to optimize heat dissipation / air circulation by proper placement sa cpu units in a room, mas recommended dyud naa babaw ang cpu pra maigo sad sa erkon then easy ra sad i pull-out if ever ma prob.

hmmm, naa man affordable cooler sad, katong deepcool beta 200+ murag APC namaligya na ani. =)

What kind of games? Kung DOTA and mga MMORPG, which is by the way maoy sikat karon sa mga cafes...then Merman's recommendation above will do just fine. Pwede pa gani without the video card he recommended (built-in VGA FTW!!!!!) aron mas barato.

Pero if your talking above Crysis-class games better get something more powerful.

Diba cool air tends to stay low, thus a casing should be placed on the floor instead on top of a table?

dili na sa brand sa processor madetermine ang kainit or kalas sa kuryente kundi sa architecture. Sauna ra na nga issue nga init ang Amd, for gaming ang Amd, pang apps ang Intel, mas bugnaw ang Intel etc. Panahon pa na sa P4/Amd Athlon days. Mas efficient na ang mga processor karon from both camps, smaller die size, plus lesser watt consumption. Ang airflow ug ang area if init ba or dili maoy mga factors imo i-consider. Sa pangutana,..depende na sa games nga imo ipadula sa imo cafe. If dota lang, or basic nga mga online, then ok na ang IGP sa Nvidia/AMD <HD3200/Geforce 8200 IGPs>. Dayon if gusto ka mas low pa jud ang consumption, you can opt for AMD's E series. X2 4850e, 5050e. So an AMD rig is most appropriate. If you'll go for an Intel build, then kailangan pa ka mag-add og discrete nga video card, which will add up to the expense. Anyway sa AMD nga rig, you can always add a video card, anytime if you'll go hardcore . Invest on more ram, at least 2gb, then this may seem unnecessary for most, but invest on a reliable psu. Almost 12hrs or 24hrs na magdagan ang imo mga computers so kailangan siya og reliable nga source sa power <Prevention is better than cure>. Dayon considering sa price sa lcd monitor karon, go for LCD. Ok na na mga 16".

@limes

sa tpc bro,...ako gamit karon Deepcool nga cooler. Naa siya duha ka heatpipes, plus copper core pa jud. Tag 550 ra Daghan pa siya ug variants. Naa'y tag 300, tag 1000 <4heatpipes> naa pud pang enthusiast<2.5k above>

true but hot air is lighter also, mas ma igo sa fan sa erkon if strategically placed babaw and cpu, usa pa kn naa ubos cpu dako chance mayatakan / maigo sa tiil kana cige gamit, majority sad sa placement sa erkon kai maigo ang mga customers sa fan. usa pa mas abog dyud compared kn ibutang sa ubos.
this implies also practicality nd easiness kn mag pull out / accessibility sa cpu unit 4 teh customers nd service technician, pero it all depends sa imu taste TS, kn unsa imu fashion/orientation sa imu placement sa units nimu, =)
