If you just do it on the side, then maybe you can use that to buy equipment and claim that as a business expense. You have to make money to have a deduction.

If you have 3 URL's then make one URL for Game Systems, one URL for home or consumer systems, and make the other URL for Server or business systems. If you know some computer graphic students they might be able to put together some graphics or animation stuff for you. Often they will work on the cheap.

Some other side businesses I have seen are installing Wireless Routers in Homes or Apartments where people dont want to have wires. Home networking for the public. You could sell CABLE Modems and or Routers on the side, along with cables.

Another side business might be a service where you copy data from old computer to new computer.
