also i wish i could open a store like this where i live and also survive financially.

but the market isnt big. not enough customers around to support it.

ChadTower:

Joe is a decent guy.  I wonder if this store turned him into Gord.

Gamestop came to town and all of our small classic games stores went out of business.

Now I have to drive 45min to get to a decent used store.

1. setup a computer to host it from your own home connection directly.
2. setup a computer to record the webcam and stream it to a server which will then redistribute it to users/visitors.

you can also get networkable stand alone web cams.. these are pretty expensive i think around 200 bucks last i checked but no computer needed they have their own embedded http servers to view the camera.

Thanks Beretta.  I think I'll go with #1.  How hard will it be to set up?  I'm kinda a novice when it comes to computers, but I did hook up a wireless internet router.

Will any web cam do, or should I buy one specific for this purpose?  And is the frame rate of the web cam determined by the web cam itself or the internet connection?
