That is a long range point-to-point antenna. They are designed for sending and receiving data at ranges of several miles at fairly high speeds (up to 150mbps). They are often used for decentralized wireless ISPs in rural areas or areas without an extensive cable/fiber infrastructure.

Yea but it's more a truck than a case

theres a somewhat limited selection of cases that support dual 360 rads, but I believe the thermaltake core x9 does.

I would love a Blade, I am a high school student who sure as hell can't afford one.

build a website and sell custom PCs on line and repair.

yup, was also thinking the same thing, i still need to do that lol, had planned to do that this holiday

Remember: the moment you accept money for your work you are directly responsible for the hardware you are given to fix. If for any reason you break it more, you'll have to pay for it. To start out only accept payments if the problem is fixed, even if you spend a week on it - you don't want to risk having to pay 800$ off of your own pocket before you have an established business.

In that case, your best option is to look for work outside of the PC repair business.

My buddie's done PC repair and custom builds for years now. 
 
All he does when something doesn't work is do the RMA process since he ordered it.  Although he provides them a loaner PC while they're down.  It's just an optiplex Dell but it's better than no PC.

It most likely isn't worth it, and do research on your local laws about getting a buisness license, and if you are a minor what restrictions there are.
 
And with a computer repair shop is there a market for it where you live?
 
 If you design custom computers you will have to be responsible for whatever on the computer breaks, and the manufacturer's warranty most likely will not apply to the customer as the part is owned by a second owner, so you will most likely have to have some sort of warranty on the computer as a whole.

90% of the time, when someone's computer is broken, It's an HDD failure. I've never done this before, but i would recommend putting up flyers saying that if someone's computer/laptop is broken, you will take a look, and see if you can fix it. if you can fix it (something like a dead HDD) charge the consumer for the cost of the new part, and some extra for fixing it. also, reach out to family/friends and ask them if anything needs to be fixed.

I have for a few clients just if they have specific needs (ex: built a mini ITX PC that had a ton of storage + high end specs, most prebuilts at that size don't offer that configuration)
But yes, I agree in most cases it's hard to compete with. I certainly don't advertise myself as custom PC's specifically.

Maybe trying to become a system integrator and building models of PCs with the same specs is one way that might be a better business model than doing custom PCs. You invest a little bit to get some stock of PCs and as a PC sells you build another PC or two.
 
However that needs quite a bit of startup cash something a High School student probably doesn't have. Or when a PC is ordered then build. However I agree selling custom PCs could yield more losses than gains. Like someone else in this thread said, probably looking for a job at a local computer shop would be a better bet.

I personally fix phones for the whole school and occasionaly go work in it shops aswell as working in my school afterhours.

eh dont work at a big box place, they are not taught and used to repair, they are used and taught to upsell. so you will do more selling then repairing 

yup, but to family members & friends it can work, as a professional business it's not gonna work.
if you don't know them via your family in any way or they're not friends, i wouldn't do it.
 

america, his location is viriginia and his background on his profile pic is the american flag

Oh ok, I have no idea about pc repair situation there since im european but here in Spain people usually dont even bother to fix the pc and just throw it and people that want a fix will pay cheap, however since I am a private school kids in my school are willing to pay a premium for fast repairs. I ussualy charge 30€ for a 1 hour iphone repair (Without parts). I also make alot of money in summer of picking up old pc's from people, fixing them and selling them. Just give out some flyers with pc repair and phone repair .

The only way to make a profit is to scam people. Charge $200 to "refresh" their system. Or clear cookies for $50. 

I haven't done that, will try it though, thanks for the help

If you can wired is the way to go! But as for that wireless adapter I'm not sure.

My Asus H97i-PLUS only has PCI, it doesn't have PCI EXPRESS.
That one will work?.

good thing you weren't running XP or Vista because the 380 wouldn't work on it.

the R9 380 is mote powerful than the 680 and 270X

while it may not be the technically correct term, it is still widely used. kind of like ain't not being a word, but still being in the dictionary.
