I have set up many internet cafes here in Greece and I could say that with prices being the same here in Greece and Australia that $25K isn't enough since you have to buy legitimate copies of M$ Windows, as well as some games for each computer. However, since you have a budget:
Don't spend much on CPU (buy an Athlon Barton one the cheaper available), a motherboard with NForce 2 (Gigabyte is best I believe but Elite is cheap) that also has a Sound Card and Lan Card, have 512 MB of RAM (Doom III NEEDS that ram in order to tun), a 40 GB HDD (since you can't afford to buy lots of games), a decent CRT 17'' monitor, an cheap NVIDIA chipset Video card and hope that you don't go over budget.
Good luck!
