Clearly The cabinet is overpriced, that to with stupid Kobian SMPS.
I think the labour charges are OK. I am assembling a PC for my school friend too. Since I am assembling the PC , my friend will expexct me to solve any problem that will arise in the future (and I am sure that there will be a lot of problems , I am installing Microsoft products). Now I cannot ask for money everytime if I have to format the HDD and install everything. Also what about my time consumed in bringing all the material to her house, putting it together etc. Also in case of ne H/W problem I will have to take the piece to the dealer coz, I have the technical knowledge so, I can explain the problem and negotiate with the dealer. Her mom is asking me to install Typing Tutor, dad needs Tally, sis wants SIMS 2, bro wants CS:CZ, DOOM3 etc. The sis is even asking me for Barbie doll wallpapers!!! Who does all this for free? they are getting a broadband connection too. So, now every member will download whatever he/she wants, click on every POP-UP and install all the softwares available.
That's why I charge Rs. 500 to 750/- in the begining only so that they get the idea that next time they call me they have to pay me, of course for a big problem.
See the case is even worse than fully paid AMC.
So it is better to be clear when it comes to MONEY esp. with relatives.
BTW I am in Thane too, and I give advise for free.
