One of the keys of a successful business is to compete where there is not heavy competition.
very true:
but, it has been my experience that once one buys one of thoes cheep computers and it dies on them, it is very easy then to sell them on a good custom computer build that can be repaired and upgraded later on.
this then brings a good steady customer from then on.
at least it works for me.
