Aside from a Vsat and desk top computers what else does one need for a small internet cafe?

I am interested in starting a small business of my own. I want to know the gadgets I will require (aside from accomodation, furniture, electric power and desk tops) to enable me set up. Need I add that I am from an African country?

1. Maybe do some laundry while I surf the web.
2. A ADSL modem to create a LAN service called Local area network it will provide internet connection to all computers through one phone line
3. You need a router and switch combination to allow Net access to the systems... or wireless hub and cards for each system to connect. You should also have an disc image of each and every system you set up in case you have a system crash or bad virus infection in a system... restoring the image would be a lot easier than doing a complete reinstall each time...
4. You also need networking equipment such as ROUTERS, SWITCHES, CAT5 Cable. So you can distribute the internet connection to all the PC's.
5. An expresso machine. A cash register. Signage. A unique concept that people in the area will relate to, possibly donateing 2% to aids relief.
