building custom computers?

Question

so ive not built any yet but i kno alot about the parts and the operating systems in computers and i am going to take a class on computer parts. so would it be a bad idea after awhile if i got some experience and then started a thing where somebody would tell me what they want and i would charge them $ of parts + a 100 dollar fee + a little more if its a big job. would this seem like a good plan to u? and any comments or suggestions would b greatly accepted.

Answer 1

Same opinion as Lazarus up there but let me add some.



Most people will stick with a stock computer because they have a warranty. I recommend gathering up the parts online and show them the price and have them to pay for them and have them to pay you $50-75 to build it and install the OS. Also to give them a good deal install some FREEWARE programs to help with computer maintenance and other stuff.



www.filehippo.com has some nice stuff.



Just to list a few freeware programs:



CCleaner

Avast Anti-Virus free edition or AVG i heard was good.

K-Lite Codec pack (free and has a bunch of codecs)

FireFox with the Add-Ons AdBlock Plus and KeyScrambler (it encryptes keystrokes to prevent key loggers form logging sensitive data)

Answer 2

Most people are happy with the 'stock' computers you can get from major 'assemblers' (Like Dell and HP, they don't make the parts, just put them together and slap a brand-name on them).



I, personally, like the idea. The thing is, if someone is going to get a fully custom computer like that, they probably already know how to put it together.



You just might have a great idea for starting a small business there, so keep it in mind.



Hope it works out for ya!

it particularly is easily a lot much less stressful than you think of. basically stay remote from carpeted factors that strengthen static electrical energy or you ought to short something out. in case you ought to get a motherboard with the CPU and the heatsink and fan put in (with thermal paste) each thing else is incredibly undemanding. Mounting a CPU isn't too undesirable yet you need to be cautious to no longer bend the pins. a great on line academic are in a position to lead you thru it. i'm undecided how a lot a save could charge for something like that. i could do some analyzing on some web content, exceedingly ones with %. to tutor you what is occurring with installation all the factors.
