Hey everyone, sorry if this isn't the right spot, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a subreddit focused on building PCs for other people. I'm keen to sell them at just about the cost of parts since I really enjoy the building process and want to get familiar with various brands and components. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I know someone who does this, but it’s tough if you just want to build for fun. He mostly trades up for better parts rather than making money. The key for him is being good at haggling, which can be a challenge if that's not your thing. It might work in a big city where there's more demand, though!
If you're serious about this, you might want to look into getting a job at a local computer repair shop. It gives you hands-on experience and you meet people who know the biz. But do consider the potential headaches of freelancing, like what happens if something breaks on your watch? You might also want to check out electronic recycling centers; some offer volunteer opportunities where you can learn and build PCs on the side.
Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re ready for constant questions and calls from customers who aren’t tech-savvy. It can be pretty overwhelming! If building PCs is just a hobby for you, it might be better to keep it that way for your sanity.
