First Impression:
This is what you will be viewing when you walk into the entrance.
I was there and saw more than 100 of these computer.
- The most eye catching thing about this shop is that their seat is a sofa. Very comfortable and makes you feel like home.
- The temperature in this shop is kind of too cold. For the females, do bring along a jacket as I was almost shivering too.
- The environment was great as you wont be hearing many people shouting as they are provided with a headset on every station.

Price & Service:
After walking around and viewing the computer, I then decided to use a station for 3hours, as the rates are very reasonable. They are charging only $2 for a hour. Its one of the cheapest prices available at that area. My opinion of it is that there are many other LAN Gaming shops around there, and therefore to be competitive in prices, they decided to remain their prices even after they have moved out of
IOI plaza. Apologies as i do not have a photo and unable to find one on the prices and rates.
Their way of payment are different as the user would need to
pay after using the computer. You will be given a
number tag and when you are done playing, then you would need to pay up. You might over shoot the
budget that you have, so do remember to bring out extra cash if you are playing for long :)

The Experience:
This was the computer they had.
The monitor they used was a
27" Acer LED mointor. Very large screen size (one of the biggest i ever used). Both
keyboard and mouse by
Microsoft.
Quite a decent pair of gears,
but what i like about them is that they are clean. Before i started using, of the their staff were cleaning it. He told me that they will be cleaning both keyboard and mouse when users finish their usage.
The sofa chair was very comfortable. Very good sensation (MUST TRY)
There were limited games installed. Most online games could
be found there, but i was expecting a little more than average. Only installed a certain amount of common games.
With my experience, i have realized that they had this Software which removes all user data when the computer shutdown and will revert its state back to default. Which means that any
computer virus or
key loggers installed by the previous user will be removed too. Brilliant idea.
They have other equipments such as a headset and
webcam to allow users to work there to.

Conclusion:
Gaming there for 3 hours was a joy. The computer did not give me any trouble and was very smooth in terms of performance. The price of the drink and tidbits were quite reasonable too. $1.20 for a bottle of drink.
I have to agree with,
Joey "Murray" M. who posted a
review:
Khakabo has the comfiest seats, best gaming equipment (headphones,
keyboards, mouses, monitors, wide selection of games), the friendliest
staff (trust me, when you've been in a 24-hour LAN shop, some people get
pressed and aren't always nice...), fast internet, and as they have two
outlets open within walking distance of each other, you're almost
always guaranteed a seat for yourself and your friends!
I had a great time there. Good environment, service and equipments.
Pros:
- Excellent environment
- Good service
- Normal computer speed
- Good variety of equipments
