computer business and parts?

I am thinking of starting a small business...sole proprietership...It would be a company that would build computers. I was wondering if anyone knew a place where I could get computer parts wholesale or if I would have to get a resellers license or something...thanks for you answers in advance Sorry kingslave that's not what I asked

Ok, spam king aside- I run a successful small computer company. The margin is EXCEPTIONALLY thin to build computers-heck, I buy MINE, the savings isnt worth my time to build them. But you asked about how to be a re-seller. My best advice is to find a local, reputable, large company, and work with them. Establish a relationship. Maybe they will even throw you a little business, happened to me.
You will need a resellers permit to buy from computer distributors. There are still several asian distributors in the bay area: ASI - http://www.asipartner.com/home.asp Mini Micro - http://www.minimicrousa.com/ In Canada Supercom - http://pub.supercom.ca/web/shome.nsf
