Arrow Any one build computers?

Hi I need to make some extra money and I was wondering if I can build a computer and sell it on ebay. Do you think it will work? Where should I get the parts the only place I know of is www.newegg.com thanks

I used to build them, just bought my 1st PC in years. Very hard to compete with the volume & prices these places can crank out.
And most people willing to pay a decent price want a name brand & a warranty - from a reputable company

Not enough $$ in it anymore IMO
More $$ in repairs & training

Not to be a ball buster but i doubt it would work there are so many home built computer on ebay that never sell. Plus you can get a Dells so cheap now.

unless you can sell the comp before you buy the pieces and use that money to buy the pieces that way you know it will sell

You could probably make one 50$ cheaper than a dell but I doubt anyone would buy from you because they can get the name and waranty from dell.
