If it goes well, open up one in Dublin, somewhere not city-centre, so the rent is low, the prices would then be low, and everybodies a winner :cool:

don't mean to be discouraging but u've arrived a bit after the ship has sailed already. Broadband is increasingly availible and increasingly affordable in ireland now, so are decent end PC's not to mention people building their own after buying the parts relatively cheap from komplett etc.

The two biggest reasons gamers went to net cafes was..

1) broadband - and playing in a cafe and paying was almost the same price as per minute money going to eircon scum.

2) high end pc's to fascilitate this.

off course there are still people who go in for these two reasons due to not being able to get broadband or decent pc's, and there are people who go in for other reasons..

but the market has definately shrunk, and can only continue to do so it would seem.

yeh but if a net cafe is run poperly they pull the clients in like flies to ****.

think of sweden (the online capital of the world) where 10mbit connection are normal, people still go to lan's cos of the cheapness well runned tourneys etc.

Half the guys in my class have an E3 connection (or whatever the college has) in their apartments. But still go to inertnet cafes for gaming ... much more fun.
