The doughnuts and coffee will make it a big success!
These types of things sometimes turn out differently than expected. In a Linux group I went to, it just turned out to be a boring lecture sytle get together. What made it work was the discussions with others there afterwards. More interest was found in unplanned after events.
Re: Would you consider this?
Well I like the idea, and if I Didn't already have a nice computer and live thousands of miles away I'd do it, and, mmm... donuts.
Do you guys teach any kind of classes to the people, like how to build your own computer, or things like that already or is this the first of its kind for your shop?
Re: Would you consider this?
yea that is a great idea!! Have other people that can't participate watch and learn too.

Not really enough room to have bystanders (innocent or not) standing about.
Besides, the instruction is part of what they are paying for...why give it away to onlookers for free?
Re: Would you consider this?
Maybe you should offer some sort of summer school for computers, like building a computer 101, and stuff like that. Without having to spend 2 grand on a computer.

You might want to let the people paying bring one or two people though, say if it's a kid and hers/his mom and pop is paying, or a spouse if it's one of the ladies you mention, you don't want them to bring their entire family I reckon, but let them bring someone. Seeing as how there may sometimes be more than one person involved in the purchase.
Some kind of age restriction might not be a bad thing either :unsure:

Hmm, this sounds like a very cool idea.. I know if i had the money i'd probably be into that kind of thing or just to watch as people put together their pc's is always interesting for me :).
Duff also makes a good point... that would be a cool idea also
