Homebuilt computers in India (Score 1)

This might be a bit offtopic, but in India, almost 90% of all home computers are homebuilt. We generally have a friendly neighborhood salesman who is ready to make your comp for you with: 1) Zero inventory 2) Ultra low margins 3) Readily available and replacable parts, nothing propreitary. Stays near your house, sells you cheap computers, throws in a year of home service for FREE. Same day on-site service calls, since he doesnt stay too far off. Plus, you know where HE lives. :P Almost ALL the smaller businesses, e.g. building contractors with around 5-7 PCs, used assembled computers too. No wonder Dell and Compaq cant make much headway in this country. Tc, sidd
