    Cheap desktop PC's?

    As a hobby i mess about with PC's, upgrades, bits of software ect. Recently i have been plagued by family/friends etc to build/upgrade a few machines as cheap as possible. Got me thinking that there might be something in it if i put the word about. As a bit of a survey, if any of you chaps wanted a PC, what sort of price would you be willing to pay? Of course its dependant on what you require it for ie gaming, office etc.

    I know there are loads/ many internet companies offering such machines, but all these people i know have'nt gone to the net/pc world etc.

    Advice appreciated people.

    Funny market , and hard to make good money on.

    Plus there is the ballache of returns if parts go wrong.

    People expect you to fix their "copy" of windows XP as well as the hardware.

    For me , I dont build Pcs for people any more , more hassle per £££ than anything else.

    Sorry thats a negative post ..

    I do PC Repairs and ugrades and allsorts.... agreed.. building pc's for customers can get you into a bit of hassle.. especially when they expect you to be there for support for free
