I did a few PCs about 8 years ago when there was actually a bit of skill involved in putting them together and even then there was a lot of competition - considering there was only Escom as a cheap high-street PC retailer. | |

I was looking into doing this but if you look around at companys that offer custom made PCs its very hard to top their prices, you could give it a go tho, you could order parts as and when needed and if it goes wrong you arent going to lose much money | |

nope - people always compare prices to pc world and all that bollocks - been there and done it - only way you can make an income out of it is to use the shittest most unreiable parts that cost sod all - but you will then have problems with hardware failures etc - if you build bespoke pc - with good components e.g; asus, abit, gainward, geil and all the others then the machines will be shit hot but you will price yourself out of the market - wouldn't bother m8 - tooo many people selling shit computers as it is........ | |

I'm thinking of getting into building PC's for people as a bit of part time income while I'm at uni. I know a fair bit about computers on the hardware side of things but not so sound on software but I don't think this should be much of a problem. Do you think there is a market for this and i was thinking of charging parts + 15%-25% for my efforts on each PC depending on how much I'd have on. I'd get a website and offer a delivery service and also put some ad's in local papers. |
