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



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




Write your questions down on the back of a $20 dollar bill and send them to me.

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 little
more about the components you are putting into these PCs.  For
example, the system you described above would barely put out any heat
so four case fans is just noisy overkill.  In fact, I think that
system would be fine without any case fans.  You're going to have
a hard time marketing a computer like that against an established
manufacturer like Dell or Gateway who will make you a system twice as
good as that for $300 less.  All of the components you listed
above are bottom of the barrel and will be completely outdated within
another six months.  What is it that you offer that a company like
Dell or Gateway does not?  Sorry if this sounds harsh, but it is
all meant to be constructive criticism.
