I was just wondering what the cost to open up a good LAN center would be.  A close estimate is all I'm looking for.  Just the cost of all the PC's and licensing and stuff..I know you can't tell me how much the building space will cost and what not..just looking for the cost of what you know pretty well.

Thanks.

It is hard to say as it depends on many factors like the number of pc and consoles you want to open with but to start a gc you should have at least 80000 - unlimited funds.  iGames offers an honorary membership which would give you access to the private gaming center owners forums which has a lot of great information about starting your own gaming center including budgets, marketing analysis, vendor contacts,game publishers, etc.  But best of all puts you in contact with hundreds of gaming center owners from all over the world from whom you can gather valuable information.

If it is to be, it must start with me.

That is way too broad of a question and is part of why we have private forums, to allow potential and current center owners to share ideas, thoughts and information.  I spent 14 months, full time, researching the details to come up with the numbers we worked with, while they have shown to be pretty accurate, the questions that needed to be asked certainly could not be summed up into one question.

I found a very substantial amount of information in the iGames private areas that helped give me concepts, ideas, and numbers to help me develop my business plans.

Consider the honoray iGames membership, as suggested.
