I read a Business 2.0 article a few months ago about some hot startups.
They said they predict a niche market for a "Pimp my PC" style business.

If anyone is good with hacking PC mods, you could probably make a good
go with this idea. I can see this kind of like the custom home theater
installers of yore. There once was a time when you could make good
money installing home theaters in wealthy people's houses. Now that
market is a bit saturated.

If you get in on this now, before it too becomes saturated, you stand a
good chance of making some dough.
