You wont believe this guys...I just decided to promote my PC building venture today. I went out and handed just one yes just one flyer to a newsagent shop. the bloke there didnt understand a word I was saying but I just left it with him. within half an hour of coming back to work I get a call on my mobile from a bloke saying he wants me to qoute a price for 16 yes 16 PCs ...but he says he will be happy for a qoute of 8 for now. he says someone has already qouted him a price but he didnt tell me how much. now whether this is for real I dont know but the guy knew what he wanted and here's the list:

P4 CPU (2.4 or above)
64 MB AGP card
Sound card
15" TFT monitor
Ethernet cards
MSI or Gigabyte Mobos
Kingston RDRAM (333Mhz he says but I dont think you can get that speed)
ADSL wireless router
120GB HDD

thats all basically...now can someone please explain to me the speeds of RAMBUS for the P4 Mobos and how many pins am I looking at here and I cant believe this is the first call and he wants this many!! dude must be heaving with money...I say bring it on...

and being this is a commercial endeavour my consulting fee is £40 an hour

 

Noel, I'll do it for 20 pounds an hour (sorry, no pound sign ), that's still roughly $50 canadian an hour, I'd be laughing.


Although of course you wouldn't be gettin as much expertise as you would with pheonix, but you get what you pay for lol

 

Stop it PB, you're killing me.

Noel, don't forget to back it all up with extra service, installation, setup etc. Are they upgrades or completely new systems? Don't forget cd roms, psu's, floppy's and towers. How about os's?

One question though, if the guy knows so much about pc's already to give you specific details why doesn't he do it himself?


EDIT: £18.50 an hour.

 

Thats what I thought nugget...but he doesnt want any OS's I believe they are just upgrades cos he did mention something about having wireless access points. also he didnt ask for floppies or any other type drive for that matter and no cases or keyboards either. so im really not sure about this one. I believe he is wanting them for his business of some sort. the thing is I dont think he wants me to put them together...just buy them off me and he will do the rest. my question is how do I benefit from all this in terms of making money for myself? Cos I have thought this thru...i dont think it will work for me...serious thinking is needed now

 

if he knwe a thing about PCs he wouldnt demand MSI or Gigabyte motherboards
thats for sure

 

and whats wrong with MSI????

 

I have had no problem with MSI boards. I have one in my PC and I put one in my mother's PC.

 

had lots of problems when using them in performance pcs
perhaps they are fine for standard rigs
thats good coz there pretty well priced considering features
thanks for the input guys
never actually used one in a non performance rig so didnt know that

 

well give it a try mate...it wont hurt that 1TB drive!!!!
