I am considering building and selling pc's as a side buisness. I need to find vendors for hardware and someone told me to get a Microsoft OEM membership to purchase OEM software. First where do I find good vendors? I have been searching the web but not happy with what I have found. Second, I thought you had to manufacture your own hardware or install one of your own programs to do the OEM thing. Can someone please clear this up for me? Thank so much!!

As far as sources for hardware, once you are an actual business, you get access to the full wholesale market.

Pick a few manufactures who's products you would like to carry and contact their sales department for recommended wholesale suppliers inyour area.

The average wholesale supplier does not have a large web presence as they by contract operate locally.
They also want to avoid contact from general consumers who they cannot sell to.
