post://90097975/

I want to create a web site for computer systems. I can go to the shows, get pricing, get some suppliers -- it's just a question of showing everyone that I know exactly what I'm doing when it comes to making them. I've been building and repairing PCs for at least 7 years now, I know the right hardware to use for what you want to do, be it games, video editing, DVD ripping, burning, music, midi... I love doing it too, it's just so pleasing to take a pile of parts and turn it into a working machine.

I had some business cards made up - need to make a site to showcase the system I've got and work from there.
People are just too tempted by Dell, Gateway... it's so easy, you get a flat panel pretty much thrown in, but the system itself is a hybrid... most of the pieces are on the motherboard, there's limited expandability, and usually cheapened to allow them to sell them for so cheap. Gateway was even giving away a free $399 PC when you bought one of their expensive models as an Xmas promo. I can't compete with that, don't profess to be able to. I will, however make as good of a PC as I can for whatever someone is willing to spend. Matching things like soundcards with the surround sound systems, graphics cards with busses and the correct memory for the best performance, that's where the true knowledge comes into play, it's a challenge that I love.
