I don't mean to troll, but why, as a student, would I want to pay more to get hardware from you instead of ordering from newegg or amazon for that matter or going down to best buy? How are you going to keep the margins to stay in business? Are you planning on hiring employees or run a sole proprietorship? How much a square for lease? What do you do about the leach customers that want everything for free that suck up your time? There are a ton of questions to answer if you are going to brick and mortar. I had a friend do it. I've experienced it first hand. I will never do it. But good luck to you if that is your dream.

"would I want to pay more to get hardware from you instead of ordering from newegg or amazon" Well one thing I'm noticing for sure (in my area at least), a lot of people here who unless they actually work in the tech industry, don't know the first thing about sites like NewEgg or TigerDirect. It kind of saddens me too, because when I had an idea that involved using the Internet in a more ad-hoc fashion, there was almost zero interest. When I tried the same experiment involving Facebook everyone jumped on. So keeping folks locally shouldn't be TOO hard. "...or going down to best buy" Good question. On that regard, I want to make a fight for cheaper prices. That's cliche and will consider it. "How are you going to keep the margins to stay in business? Are you planning on hiring employees or run a sole proprietorship?" I don't plan on having more than 2 other folks around the shop. You've asked some very good questions and completely blew my mind. I'll take some time to figure these out first. Thanks!
