Profitable ideas for a bunch of computers?

[Lukas Keizer]

So I have about 30 desktops and a few laptops capable of running windows 7 (or 8 if I wanted) and I wanted some ideas of something profitable I could do with them. I thought about opening a computer cafe type thing that charges like 3$ an hour for use. Maybe I should open up a small storefront to sell them at discounted prices. I already run a computer support company so for my clients I do "free recycling" of the old computers. I destroy the hard drives (they demand it) so I'd have to figure out a way to get them ready but it should'nt be an issue.

The idea for a Computer Cafe sounds really cool.

Yeah I like that too. If there is enough PC gamers around here I might have like tournaments and stuff.

A cafe completely depends on your local environment. Are there any others around? What do they charge?

An internet cafe is a longterm (expensive) enterprise. The price of the machines is a teeny part of starting that type of business.

Selling them is a one shot deal.
