Look up information on home businesses on Google.
Also, for cheap supplies/wholesale, go to cnet and they give you a list of places in order of prices. Or pricewatch.com
Good luck!  | |

i use pricewatch as my starting ground, but if i were to shop around part by part from diff companies i would get raped on shipping, so i should stick to one company to buy from, also i compare my prices after how much i should add on for putting it together to dell, should be about same quality in parts, maybe mine a a little higher but thats what ive started so far

Comparing NewEgg to other suppliers, you will see that their prices may be a few dollars higher, until you look at the shipping costs
The other nice thing about NewEgg is that they ship exclusively with FedEx | |

Most of the time you get a great deal with a company buying in bulk, discount rates, and such. Also if you get a fedral tax number, and state ID if required you can buy at wholesale which is much cheaper than the middle man, get it at thier price 
It depends on how many puters you're building, and how much money you have to invest.
Call the local buisness center in your state, and they will send you a buisness start up kit that will tell you how to get started, if you want to go that big at first. Still it's a free call, and the info is free as well.
Good Luck!

When you first start with wholesale... their prices are not much cheaper...but as you increase your volume they drop you down levels.... I talked to my wholesale rep adn was very concerned at their prices being higher than the local computers stores... (liek $10 on a 1700+) so he said he would drop me down a few levels... YES!!!
