My new business - ô¿ô

NOT trying to sell you guys anything but I just launched my product for sale. It's a totally new, never before seen design in computing...those ugly pieces of shit!...NO MORE!

I started Home Computing Concepts LLC on my dime, took 2 years of working it to get to this point.

Gee, you could at least help run my counter up!

Nice stuff...who's building them?


You only sell them w/computers, or do you sell just the cabs?

Thanks, I also am almost finished with a "Country Accent" model (painted white/different trim)...many designs to come once I can afford to build them. I have a high-end cabinet maker on board, I build the computers...

The CPU Box is a new design, vertical and slides in from the rear of the unit up to the panel you see there......easy access to CD ROM's..etc..So, no I sell it as a package. Click on BUY NOW to view the details of what is in the PC...everything is optional but I did two (of three - one more config to gather, we had an HD TV card but that won't work in many areas of the US so I backed off that) configs to fit different needs...

Thanks for asking....

I think that once you are up and running, you may choose to sell them w/out the computers...unless your price on the comps. is that good.


My two cents about the design you show so far...the table is nice looking, but will never function as a table. No usable room

You could easily have a 30" tall matching door cab instead,(build it all as one) which might cut costs. Because the keypad pulls out, you could still sit at it, and not bang your knees on the cab. doors underneath. As well, you would have all that added storage space.

I know you have other designs in the works, and you may very well have this planned. My first thought when I viewed the one shown, was that "someone sat a huge cabinet on that nice table."


Nevertheless, it looks great...good luck

Well, my customers are probably baby boomer ladies who just want a PC to Email their grandkids on. That's why I called my company Home (computing concepts). Ya wanna office than get one..lol. The level of the table is perfect for sitting at, height is the same as an PC cabinet/table. The table is built wider to make the design look better, more uniform...plus it needs to be a 2 piece hutch, the cabinet fits down in the table (turned upside down) for shipping...I would like to find thicker legs but that's down the road. Everyone who has seen it live thinks it's a perfect design for my market...

The computer is a newly designed box...it's vertical and slides into the unit from the rear...easy to work on and can be upgraded just like any PC can.

Thanks for the challenges...it will look better once I get a pro to photo it for my ad. I also am picking up Queen Anne chair today that will look great with it.

Thanks!....PS I just heard from Best Buy, a consultant said he'd do what he can to support the PC for aftermarket AND offered me discounts on quantities....

Things are falling into place now that I have it out there...finally!

Thanks

I think the photos are fine...they give a good idea just how the unit looks. And it looks elegant...to say the least.


What does it cost to ship these babies? I assume they are pretty easy to install/set up?

Hell yeah, man. That's pretty slick.

I dabble in Coprorate Identity, if you ever need anything...(Shameless plug. )

Recognize the pic on the right, too.


You'll do great, man.

Oops, I meant the PC BOX is horizontal, lays flat...duh...These are to be crated using bio-degradable materials only. Crating is about $120.00 and shipping costs depends on the destination zip of course. It weighs about 100lbs with the PC and other components in it.

I have a crater and freighter company in line now ready to ship.

It takes two to install them....easily. Not too much to it. The cabinet has 4 "L" brackets to secure it to the table. Once the cabinet is set up you install the PC onto rails that guide it to the front, secure it and then add the other crap...wires hang on the rear panel out-of-view..even with it open you don't see any wires/cables...well, putting it in place to stratigically hide the power cord of course...so you can almost call it wireless.

Thanks man...I appreciate you taking a look.
