Small comp business

[LarryK]

Entertaining the idea of a small computer business was wondering what was required to get produced directly from Antec Asus and intel/amd? Would mere small business status let me deal directly with those companies or do they require a minim of inventory purchased? or is there no way in hell due to very selective contracts.

I know AMD pretty much deals in lots of 1000 processors. Anything smaller isn't worth their time.

Market is oversaturated and there is virtually no profit in it. Think carefully before you tread.

Focus on services (repair, troubleshooting), not resale. Computers are really cheap now. It is more convenient for people to just buy new systems (from Dell, not you) and let their old one sit in the shed.
