Gateway Parts

How can I get computer parts/software at a discounted price?

I fix computers for my family, friends and some other people as a hobby. Constantly people ask me to install anti-virus, memory upgrades, CD burners, etc, which I have to buy and include in the final bill. How can I get my supply at a discounted price so I can make profit out of the parts/anti-virus/software too?

1. go look at wholesalers they may be able to help u i get most of my stuff from dca http://www.dcacomputers.com.au/shop/images/pricelist/dcaplist.pdf but if u shop online u may be able to find better deals aswell
2. Buy in bulk from wholesalers. You pay for Anti-Virus! Why, when there are so many excellent free ones available? http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html http://www.free-av.com/en/download/1/avira_antivir_personal__free_antivirus.html (Avria) http://free.avg.com/download http://download.cnet.com/PC-Tools-AntiVirus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10625067.html?tag=mncol http://download.cnet.com/ThreatFire-AntiVirus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10726873.html http://download.cnet.com/Panda-Cloud-Antivirus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10914099.html
