Hi guys.

I have the intention of selling PC's cheap to the local community. I want to offer some pre built systems at a range of prices for a variety of uses.

I've chucked together a few ideas, could you please take a look at the below set ups and offer comments/suggestions on their compatibility and if you'd change anything.

All purchases will be from ebuyer so if you could suggest from there i would appreciate it. If you could try to keep to a similar price or preferably cheaper.

Many thanks for your assistance.

So here they are.

Didn't have a vast amount of time to put this list together so theres probably plenty of changes you can make.

I certainly don't want to be a stick in the mud but it's very tough to compete with vendors that sell gaming computers as an established business. I'd be hesitant to do so, as anyone you sell to will expect you to provide tech support of some kind should they have a problem. Sounds like time may be in short supply :)

No problem being a stick in the mud. This isn't my profession, nor do I look to make it my source of income. Just a hobby/side project. I've done it for friends and family, just want to offer others an opportunity for a cheaper machine and I can make a little extra cash on the side. Only reason I wanted some pre designed systems is to just give people an idea of what they can get.
