Basically I was thinking of buying a lot of high end PC's and connect them by LAN (Potentially Internet capable) for people to just book time to play some of the best games on PC together or alone.
Would you think something like this still has some degree of success or do you think its a pointless thing now?
I was also considering consoles for the younger players during the summer holidays to play on the best consoles and games (Some kids don't have consoles at all so it would be a new experience for them).
Besides the Paedo jokes do you think it could work?

I've seen this business model used before, and it can work, many college towns have gaming cafés. Just some things to remember: Start up costs will be high, probably $700 for each PC, $850 after monitor and accessories. You'll also need a space with high traffic, preferably near a high school or college. Games cost money, and you'll need to manage several different steam, origin, and Uplay online accounts. You have to get loyal customers, offer 3-6 month passes with perks, and weekly/daily passes at a higher price-time ratio.
