Thats partly because from the time I did his quote to the time I ordered bits some more of them had gone up. It wasn't long enough in between for me to put that back on him. Its should have been more like 12%. That includes build and configuring etc etc.	pctek (84)

It's no good doing a standard mark up, as any decently spec'd PC would be way outside everyones price range.	wratterus (105)

Ditto :crying theres next to no money in building new PC's, by the time you take in the postage of components, the actual cost of the components and labour. BIG places that order a certain component(s) by the hundreds get better discounts. I looked at importing cases at one stage - to get a "good" discount I would need to order a container load, and save about $10 per case over my supplier -whip de do.	wainuitech (129)

Bask in the knowledge that there's at least one very satisfied customer out there? :clap	the_bogan (9949)

They also make a nice margin by selling unneeded extended warranties...	johcar (6283)
