So...How would you go about making $2500?
I'm building a graphic design/gaming computer...The only problem is the money, of course. I need roughly $2000 for the main parts, and a few hundred dollars for the drives and just the little things...Here are the specs... MOBO: EVGA P55 SLI 132-LF-E655-KR LGA1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard [$180] CPU: Intel Core i7-930 Bloomfield 2.8GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80601930 [$290] RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL [$200] GPU: ZOTAC AMP! ZT-40102-10P GeForce GTX 480 (Fermi) 1536MB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card [$520] PSU: XION PowerReal AXP-850R14N 850W ATX 12V v2.2 / EPS 12V v2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply [$82.00] HDD: A-DATA 500 Series AS592S-32GM-C 2.5" 32GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) [$85.00] HDD(2): Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EARS 1TB 5400 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive [$69.99] SOUND: Turtle Beach TBS-3300-01 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Interface Montego DDL Sound Card [$57.99] CASE: SILVERSTONE RAVEN RV01-BW Black Steel / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case [$200] It comes to a little over $1800...But I need extra money for Adobe programs and Microsoft Office Ultimate. Plus Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit. So I want to make $2500 to be on the safe side. I'm also saving up for this gaming laptop: http://www.amazon.com/Asus-ASUS-G73JH-X3-Laptop-Computer/dp/B00376ANBK/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1280207985&sr=1-4 For trips I take so I can work and game on the go... So, for now, how would you go about making $2500 at the ages between 15-18? I can make maybe $400-$500 with my current pc if I got a new case and keyboard & mouse... Here's what I'm good at... -Spelling -OK at designing like logos and stuff -Sprinting -PC Programs like Word processing programs -Researching I can also make $100-$200 by selling random stuff... But I need help. Please? Also, what do you think of my PC build? Don't hesitate to give me your ideas. Thank you.

I like your setup, If i were to change one thing I would get rid of the 32GB solid state drive because it is a lot of money and you really can't fit all that much on it; and I would also get rid of the 1TB Hard drive that is 5400 RPM, and either replace it with a 10,000 RPM 1TB hard drive, or a 7,200 RPM hard drive.

I would also dump the solid state and upgrade the harddrives from green to black. You can always do the solid state OS thing later on when capacities go up more. As for making money, I wish I knew, I'd be doing it right now, LOL. Get some of your buddies together and make an iPhone/iPad app, sell it on the app store for $0.99, sell 10000 units and split the money. (requires some math and programming aptitude)
