I really like the idea that someone posted above about having a back room for LAN parties.
I think that catering to gamers would likely be a losing proposition at first. Gamers tend to have their own machines, and these machines are pretty expensive, and would require frequent upgrading. Maybe once things get going, but I think that at first, it would be wise to shy away from them. Having that back room for LAN parties could be a good way to get some of them in there anyways. Just make sure the room has tables, chairs, lots of plugs (as the whole business should have... plugs = good), and plenty of ethernet connections. You may also want to make sure that the noise from the gamers in there wont spill over into the rest of the cafe... I know I would be pretty annoyed if I was sitting in your cafe trying to do some work and a bunch of kids in the back were screaming about a video game.
It would also probably be a good idea to isolate that group of network connections from the rest of the business. Maybe put all the connections in that room on a seperate workgroup?
