The server is when someone will order one, then I will order the pieces and I will actually build it. How's that?

There is no freaking way that people will give me something like that (unless they're crazy)

lol, so your company is made up of people giving you computers? and the other part is people giving you money to build them. think - you also have to ship them that will cost money too, so u have to buy in bulk for it to be worthwhile, otherwise people just buy the computer parts themselves and save a lot of money. :)
 
Yeah you might also want to offer other stuff along with that. Like computer services or training. That's what I'm trying to start up and if I do it right I think it will be a pretty good venture.

P.S. The only way you'd sell the older ones is if some old person needs it for email.
 
Lemme tell you, it's really hard to start a computer business just from handouts and buying individual parts. If you found a way to get enough orders to make buying in bulk worth it, you'd have a much better chance of success, but if you're motivated enough, you can really do anything. I know that it's hard to start your own computer business though, I've tried, and I ended up making about $100 off two computers. I also tried a computer repair/consulting business too by putting up ads at church. I just charged about $20 an hour or something, and went to a few people's houses. Of course, I'm not really that great at figuring out all the problems, so I gave that one up too. Now I'm just workin at the grocery store down the street, lol, and even though I don't make $h!+, it's steady money, and I can't complain about that too much, since I'm only 16.
 
To answer everyone, They come with an OS, office and they have a year warranty. I tweak them up with my stuff so I can sell them. Later, I'll be able to get new ones :) . People that are giving computers to me is because they don't need it anymore, or they just yell of the slow machines for games. So I prevent them throwing out the computers outside the window

Overpriced IMO

Bullshit since this setup doesnt exist.

How did you end up getting that Server?

He didnt

get the amd opteran as I like amd proccesors

I thought you were an AMD fan? (almost to the point of being a fanatic) ... in that case you should realize such a setup doesnt exist.


Regarding these silly 4-5GHz Opteron setups -- cease posting crap like this. Of course, if you do find credible documentation about this (perhaps www.amd.com) then i may consider eating my shoe.
 
Yes, their is dual. But there is no standalone 5 GHZ CPU

Find me a link from a reputable seller or even Intel.com featuring Dual 4-5GHz Boxes. And while you're at it, find me a reputable link on the "Dual 200MHz" Pentium Pros. Do that and i might consider buying a computer.
 
Perhaps I miscalculated, but remember, DUAL CPUs and DUAL mobo. I can add up to 4-5GHZ. Stop saying that's bullshit if people around me gets something powerful like ever.

http://www.pcguide.com/ref/cpu/fam/g6PPro-c.html YO I gave 2 to my friends for $50. In-friend cost

And for the other one, OH MY GOD! Look the mobos. You won't find that sitting in a store! And last thing to add, 2.5GHZ+2.5GHZ=5GHZ

Ahmmm...

:rolleyes: I see what you are saying. Praetor seems to think that you are talking about 2 x 5Ghz! I am sure you can get the duals to work at 5Ghz (two speeds added up) no problem.

JAN :D

For a dual core processor or mobo you cannot just add up the numbers it isn't quite as simple as that.

A dual 2.4GHz comp. is NOT the same as a single processor 4.8Ghz. Reason, speed is effective only on one processor. Hence, running programs will not result in double the speed, EXCEPT for those programs specially encoded to take advantage of the configuration such as server apps. Now, you can say the speed is eqivilent to the speed of two computers running side by side. But the speed at which they are both running is still 2.4Ghz. You can't say that your processor runs at that speed [4-5Ghz] because it simply isn't true.
