- superchroma 4y agoWe didn't have a choice. We were building to a strong spec and sending a unit to trade shows.
- CydeWeys 4y agoThat's not a reasonable answer. Many people want to buy assembled systems, and lack the skills/inclination to do it themselves. Pre-built systems is a huge $1B+ market, and "kill the market entirely" is not an acceptable answer.
- ikiris 4y agoYour business model is not required to be viable. I said don't ship them. I did not say don't build prebuilt systems.
- bearmode 4y agoBreakage is normal in any industry, what are you suggesting as an alternative? There are companies shipping nationally and internationally with very few issues
- CydeWeys 4y agoThis reply doesn't make any sense. It is a viable business model. It has total revenues across all the major players of billions of dollars per year. And how the hell do you not ship them? You're not making any sense here. There's no alternative to not shipping them, not unless you're planning on having system builders show up individually to clients' houses and assemble PCs on the spot. That business model is way less economically efficient than simply assembling PCs centrally and accepting some breakage in shipment.
