Well idk if you noticed this buy go to bestbuy and look at the 1200 dollar computers...now take that 1200 dollars and see the computer u can build and compair....blow the bestbuy 1200 dollar computer away.......

So i live in buffalo ,NY its in the states.All the time i see ppl looking for computers.
So i was thinking of starting a computer building buiness with modding and paintting and stuff.
This wont b done intill i get a painting station built and more tools(as if i dont have enough lol)
And about 1-2k saved up

as soon as you start doing it as a business, you'll notice the additional costs are going to absolutely murder you. Doing it from your own house for mates and collegues you can make a pretty buck though. I build systems once in a while for people, and most of the time i include around €50 for my trouble. For that they get no fuss, everything installed, and most of the time also a nicely overclocked system.

good luck

Really though starting your own actual business is suicide.

However doing it for side income is still bearable.
