Haha yea I was thinking about doing a little local shop where I would build custom PC's for people, but with people like HP and Dell around especially with such name brand recognition I just figured it would be too hard to get much out of it.
Takes me about 15 minutes to assemble something if I have all the parts there... another 30 to 45 minutes to install the OS and then 10 mintues for the drivers. and all is good so a little over an hour.
u gotta do reasearch and all that too, to make sure all parts are compatible, and probably other considerations
u really gotta have a degree of some sort to open a shop, people like to get their pc serviced by someone who knows what their doing, lot of competition out there, so get some education, learn about different brands, get some education in the area, etc, study study study, maybe in a year or 2 youll be ready, look at your local college or something for more info
and its a constant learning experience, every year things change a lot, and u gotta adapt, trust me, i been into computers for 10-15 years, and i still get confused sometimes
my first computer took about 2 hours, right now i'm building my second one. (actually done building, just waiting for all the things to update and crap)
the profit margins are very low on small company custom built computers..... the only way you could do it would be to have a shop and people come in and place orders..... but then you have to worry about warrentys etc etc
it takes me from the box's being there to having it fully operational with the basics on it ( office etc) 2-3hrs.
