Give it a shot. You might be surprised at how lucrative it is.

My primary insight into business over the past year has been, why work for someone else? Why let the difference between the wage they pay you, and the value your work generates, pad someone else's pockets? Why not be your own boss?

In this case - if you can say to someone, 'You'd pay $2000 for this computer. I can make you the same computer for $1000 (or $1500). Why not? You're saving money, and I'm making money' - well, more often than not, they'll be giving you their business.

It's not so simple as this, of course, but even considering technical support and the like, the figures still add up the right way for both parties. With the money they save, they can easily afford the best anti-virus software. And someone who knows enough to save their computer money in this way, is likely to have the basic knowledge needed to carry out their own tech support.
