Margins are super tiny on pc builds under $1500. We wouldn't even do them but I love it and customers sort of expect it. I mean what kind of "full service" computer shop doesn't sell computers lol
For example, the $3k origin pc has a profit of $700 on parts. That will dramatically decrease on less expensive models
Make all our money on service.

Same here, I make about $50-100 on a $1000 system. I love doing it, but the money isn't gonna replace my day job.
