I've got the model, 3 personal friends who can also build, free hosting from a large company's website, 20k to start it up, logo, name. I've checked into areas to sell them, the problem is stiff competition, but even that is manageable.

The only problem with competition is...you do it better faster and cheaper...build for the NON enthusiast crowd ...first...


so what if ur first models are propos comps with onboard grfx and Linux OS....thats exactly what small companies buy ^^

The problem is im not sure that I can sell them quickly enough to not end up sitting on old systems. It really isnt a one person job.

just offer custom OS setups....(idiot proof) that handle the small companies inventory, phones, emails etc.


My work here is done....just all ya all get on Vent or w/e and work out the details....post a topic for interested parties...
low pay, long hours...etc to start with...help each other to relocate..to w/e ur GARAGE is...share the rent....as long as you in a commercial district on edge of some town...ur gtg ^^

Be the next Job / Gates Empire.

The economy is ripe for a cheap fool proof comp...that kids can't break and adults can use.

Best of all...you all know the internet and it's wily ways....much better than those big companies you'll be competing with...you're younger, can work longer, and can even finish ur educations while you do it.

The only thing stopping the LOT of you is fear of failure...


Make ur company slogan: Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated. (after paying royalties to use that phrase)
