    I'd call them gaming and office like you said...or home and gamer or something like that.


    to get rid of laziness just start making the flyers then you'll get into it and ideas will come into your head (always happens to me).

    if you use your real name as your company name you don't need to do a DBA (doing buisness as) thing in the classifides, and you don't need to file with the courts.
    food for thought...

    From personal experience....

    You really don't need a "company name" or a permanent ad yet...keep it low key and operate by word of mouth until you figure out how it's going to work out.
    Business cards are a cheap investment, but don't tie yourself into any long-term commitments until you know how it goes.

    As I work in a computer store and have access to several wholesale vendor sites, I can tell you that the absolute best place to get your parts is probably Newegg.
    They have no minimum order, they carry the newest cool parts and their shipping is very reasonable.
    The prices are LOWER than many of my supposed "wholesale" vendors and I use them alot.

    If you keep your markup reasonable on parts ( say 15% or so ) and charge a reasonable fee for the labor you'll be fine.
    Beware the fatal trap of using pirated MS products...they WILL come after you and if not, your customer will run into problems down the road if they lack a valid license for their OS...we see this on a daily basis.

    Good luck.
