256MB of RAM? You should have atleast a gig.

How much are you going to charge, Server 2003 has a $1,000 price tag.

I don't generally get involved in this forum, but still - it is on our site.

In one post you say dual boot XP / server 2003 and in the next you say you don't have server 2003.

In one post you say your low end system will be $600 and in the next you say your lowest cost system is $700.

Before you start "advertising" you might want to get your ducks in a row .

Seriously? To me, it looks like you are just trying to rip people off.
Adding to what Allan said, it looks like you should also think a littlemore about the components you are putting into these PCs. Forexample, the system you described above would barely put out any heatso four case fans is just noisy overkill. In fact, I think thatsystem would be fine without any case fans. You're going to havea hard time marketing a computer like that against an establishedmanufacturer like Dell or Gateway who will make you a system twice asgood as that for $300 less. All of the components you listedabove are bottom of the barrel and will be completely outdated withinanother six months. What is it that you offer that a company likeDell or Gateway does not? Sorry if this sounds harsh, but it isall meant to be constructive criticism.
