Don't forget games for little kids too.Ĥ. Have a WIDE variety of game selection - what you and I think is cool won't be to someone else. People won't show if your computers aren't as good as their home ones.ģ. Don't go with cutting edge to start with but plan on upgrading often to stay *close* to cutting edge.
