Hi I have been building computers for about 3 years or so I know everything about hardware and about windows and the bios and can overclock I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about creating a website like http://www.pugetsystems.com/ , http://www.vigorgaming.com/ and http://www.ibuypower.com/IbpPages/IntelLobby.aspx Could I operate this out of my home I know I could but would it be legal?
Just advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.

corsair 6gb 1600mhz
Evga Gtx 285 675mhz

Dude,

You should learn proper English before going into business. If in 3 years you think "I know everything about hardware and about windows and the bios and can overclock",you don't know jack. I've been working on computers since 1974 and have had my own computer business since 2003 and I don't know everything. I learn new things everyday. Also, there's not a large market for high end gaming computers. Most customers just what something cheap to surf the web, read email and write Word docs.

Experience aside, you'd most likely need to get a business license to operate a shop out of your home. Just contact your local government's small business department to get more info. Your best bet would be to check your town or city's webpage to find out where to start.

Dang, Grumpy, I guess you got your name for a reason huh? ;)

being in a hurry and in a business is not exactly a good combo, you don't want to rush any build, esp on new techs that you may not know about before hand that no experience will help
