Pricing:




For builds with off the shelf components, a flat $80 fee is charged on top of components, this is
in line with what Microcenter charges (the only company currently doing mass produced
hard line liquid cooled PC’s). For more custom builds, we charge $40 per an hour + cost of
components + machine fee x time.
this price structure is sustainable at either 4 hours a day, or 2 regular builds per day to make $50,000 per year. It is important to note that none of the major boutique builders offer fabrication or modification of parts apart from the application of off the shelf  water blocks / distro-plates. CAD design for custom blocks would also be covered by the $40 per hr fee, and production would be covered by materials and machine time fees. Anything requiring fabrication or CAD would be subject to a non-refundable deposit before any actual planning could take place. This safeguard would prevent loss of wages due to projects that fall through (my time should not be had for free being the basic principal). Other considerations such as sourcing special requests would be spelled out to the client during the planning phase, and subject to the $40 per hour fee as well. Given that 20 - 40 hours of work can go into a single custom rig, with non standard parts, ~1 per a week would roughly cover my operating expenses initially. As i moved into a larger space, acquired personnel and machinery, and grow as a  business expenses would go up but i believe that this model should scale fairly well.
