Why don't Linus create a business for business service?

[wlin]

I think Linus is great, I learn a lot from him. But why don't linus provide business service for business customer? I believe many buyers still need help on building/customize their PC in business level. Similar provider including iBuyPower. I also think pcpartpicker is great, but it seems less interactive. Eg, I want to pick the store ... shopping feature might need improved. On the other hands, I think business still need IT support, but LTTStore sales only TShirt instead of PC components? I believe LTT could be next newegg or even better.

 

Any comments?

The margins on selling computer components is abysmal, there's far better margins in selling water bottles and t-shirts to fanboys.

Who in their right mind would want to be responsible for that.

Would be cool but there is too many companies on the market for that.

There are already companies that exist in the b2b custom computer space like Puget. Additionally, the margins on computer components and systems are razor thin a lot of the time unless you have big dick purchasing power.

The only way this could be viable is if the components that they sell are all custom LTT componets, like a ltt gpu varient, a LTT kit of ram, etc

For same reason they don't do custom builds for consumers. They are media company.

 

So they actually have solutions for businesses. They sell ad/sponsor spotlights. They produce commercials. They do some liason, collaboration and representing for companies.
