For some time I been thinking to open a mini shop/site to offer custom build pcs and offer linux into them. I'm still thinking but I think this will be soon (or hoping to)
Letting the user's to build their pc at low cost plus they get installed ubuntu in them. :)
Any thought/suggestion?

I like the idea.
Do your market research first and make sure you can do it without going broke--preferably making an appropriate profit.
Make sure you love the business before you commit to doing it full time.

Don't worry I'm not going broke ! :) I already have parts and other things and I will list them in the site and let the user choose.
Also this isn't the only thing i manage, since I have hosting services and other projects to take care of. But still give me time :)

Sounds like a neat idea mr. aku.
edit: i'd like to do the same thing... but I can't build pc's lol and have no money... so yeah.

Also.. I think.. since i want to give people choices.. the slogan would be "the freedom of choice" and let them custom build their pc
and here how i'm plannning to do it, i build the computer , after complete it I install the choosed distro. after that i package them and ship them.
how does that sound? (also we will include laptops)

Where are you located, where will you ship to, and will you also offer blank laptops(no OS, i prefer installing myself)? (and when can you start?)

I'm located in Puerto Rico, I will ship worldwide (also will depend on the weight of the computer or laptop you order)
I'm doing a inventory so I don't know when I'm going to start but I be announcing it here
sorry for the late answer
