Not to be rude, but this idea is out of touch. Basically no one would want this and the PC building market is impossibly tiny today. You'd get zero foot traffic.
No one is building their own computers anymore and those that are, are serviced incredibly well by Amazon/Newegg/etc.
- noizejoy 6y agoInterestingly here in Canada, we have a smallish, but still growing retail chain catering to the DIY pc builder market, called Memory Express. They aren’t big box by any means, but I’ve been very happy to shop there. Better selection than Best Buy, better curation than Amazon.
- kcb 6y agoI think you're underestimating the size of the PC gaming market. And most PC gamers are building their own computers. I think what has really helped PC gaming in recent years is Twitch streamers who are predominantly playing on PC. The kids see this and eventually make the switch to PC. The PC building section at micro center is always packed with all sorts of people buying full parts for a gaming PC.
