Indeed, their boards are really good at small sizes, I believe, oneday in the future, that we will get the power of 128-core processors, Octo-SLi, 128GB RAM, Millions of terrabytes of HDD, and some new device to replace DVDs in something that small, if not smaller.
*What a vision I had then*

If a PC costs you $1,000 to build, you'd sell it for $1,150, for example. I don't think that's unreasonable. Make it very clear to your customers that you're offering *limited* support and ship the products faster. Three weeks is ridiculous.
The pocket PC you're marketing is extremely underpowered and way overpriced. In fact, stay completely away from VIA products. You can build a quality, quiet HTPC with an Intel or AMD chip, using a mATX mobo. Playing online games and using that pocket PC as a media center, is, at best, a strech. I'm assuming the integrated graphics are awful on that board.
I admire the fact that you're 17 and attempting to start a business. I wish you the best of luck. The Q9300 build was a good idea, but you're not going to make any money selling those < $500 computers. Focus on good quality HTPC products and gaming rigs.  |
Thanks for that help
, I will have a look around on-line, and I will come up with a new HTPC which uses high quality parts. And since it costs quite a bit of money to list the auctions, ill revise that tiny Pick-ITX PC and replace it all completely.
