For computers, buying cheaply and often will only leave you constantly in a world of shit.

People can afford it, but its the people who buy equipment for the name or to say they have it.

Who needs a dual SLI GPU... honestly.

the P180 is supposedly like 36 pounds max, sooo nah its not that close o-o lol mine is 46 pounds with everything in it. typically i use a rolling chair to transport it to my room to do major modifications, not because its "too heavy", but because it seems "too heavy for that hole below the case door i think is a handle + holding part of the back at the same time"

Moneys in it though, for one reason. People are too lazy to do the simpliest of thigns.

People will pay 60$+ for someone to do routine maitance to it (which is pointless anyhow because they will only have it done once or twice a year).

I've saw first hand someone pay 60$ for disk defragmenter to be run and updates to be performed to the machine.

Its not like its hard at all, even the more involved stuff is easy to anyone with the paitence to learn. Anyone who can read and comprehend what they read is 100% qualified.

Its a hobby for myself, but its good money and easy to do so why not make a crapload of money doing it.

Technically yes I am, part of the reason they keep me working where I am now is because their too stupid to upkeep a modern PC in anyway.

The guy who fixes the machines here at work has only limited knowledge of older stuff... back in the days of 386's and DOS.

I could have gotten paid well over 200$ for a few hours worth of work to a friends PC, and alot more then that if I had charged for all the times I've helped people out. But I do it as a sort of you owe me one kinda thing, that why when/if those people help me they wont feel obliged to charge me lol.
