Biggest project so far! 4 computer builds for an automotive shop!

So business is going pretty well, but I just got a business request for building 4 computers! and possible 2 more! The owner of the automotive shop "village auto repair" located in Seattle just requested me to build them 4 new computers for their new software I gave them 300 bucks computer and charged 100 each! Great deal in my opinion! I'm glad to build so much computers and I'll show them some quality service! They gave me their company card to spend! I could possibly build 2 more computers for this guy. Hopefully this goes well! Also homie nico hooked me up with some more netbooks. I'm so broke at the moment but I'll get some cash soon! Happy happy! On Saturday I get to change the timing belt and water pump on my teggy! Excited

Shift in my business! Built 3 computers! and new semester

I tried to do something new. I always heard people telling me to build computers for others. So I did. Put an ad on craigslist, got 3 customers in 2 weeks. It is little bit time consuming and hard, since I actually have to build a pc, but communicating with my customer really helps me alot. And after the job, customers were all happy and surprised at what they've built! As seeing them smiling after the build, it makes me smile as well. Pay is great also. I should keep doing this. Also my new semester started. Except for the Chinese class, everything is awesome. My deca teacher is so passionate on what he is doing. He also tells us great info and know-hows. I'm excited to see my business improving as I'm taking deca. I am so excited and ready for the new semester. But I really get tons of homeworks and haven't gotten a chance to sleep yet. Maybe I should sleep early today. I wish I can upload pictures from my phone but I don't have any android cables.. ugh gotta buy one.

Repair updates!

Fixed two phones with screen issues LG Thrill 4g and htc Amaze! I took the LG Thrill 4g and currently using as mine! I love this phone it looks so pretty and nice. Lg did a great job on this phone with the gorilla glass. It does not leave a scratch! Also I got a netbook from Nico, and I only need to change the mouse pad in order to sell it. I also got the clutches for my car, and they look awesome! But I'm considering what to choose for my transmission fluid. People say to get AMS oil, but it seems really expensive and rare. The OEM fluid cost only about 18 bucks, but people say it is worse than mobil 1 haha. I'll do a full documentary on my clutch replacement ! I;m very excited.

Changing proxy makes people happy!

So there is London Olympics going on.
As a proud South Korean, I would love to watch the S.Korean games.
But stupid NBC doesn't broadcast any games that doesn't involve U.S in it...

Meanwhile, Naver.com or Daum.net broadcast S.Korean games online
That's where I used to watch previous olympics.

But this year, they decided to limit their service to people who only live in S.Korea.
So if you live outside of S.Korea, you won't get the access to the online broadcast.

So many people living in U.S or outside of S.Korea cannot watch the game.
I studied how they can figure out where I am.
I used random proxys or Tor browser, but did not help.
So I decided to manually change the proxy.
I looked up some random Korean proxy and manually changed it on my browser.
Yay it works!

I shared this information with friends and put it on to youtube.
Now so many people can enjoy the Olympics outside of S.Korea.

Something that I am really proud of and decided to share it on my blog.

and here is the video.

Updates

Sold hp G62 laptop

some more laptops

Fixed a samsung desktop with motherboard issue, reflowed the chipset.
Then put gt210 so it won't happen again..

This professor asked me to build him a very fast computer,

so I made a 500 bucks budget computer with mushkin SSD and radeon graphics card since he wanted to hook up with 3 screens.

The result was good, he liked it except for the chassis.. (He thought it was big)

but well made and I'm very happy!
Also test drove a junk prelude haha..

Need to enlarge my business!

So after buying my car, I really feel like I need to somehow enlarge the size of the business that I'm doing.

I'm making good money for the time I spend, but definately not enough to spend on all my goods.

I need to make good 1000 dollars per month, but currently I'm making only about half of that.
I need to come up with some brilliant idea for this..  hmmm......
Maybe I should start focusing on repairing than selling, since by repairing I have nothing else to lose.

Updates- lenovo m17z all in one desktop.
This is a wall mount pc, I thought many people were looking for one, but apparently not.
I put it on cl, ebay, kseattle but only 1 person contacted me so far.. and he wanted a trade..
