Where to purchase cost-effective inventory

Question
Where can I purchase cost-effective inventory for a small business that sells computers and computer hardware? 
Answer
The Internet teems with vendors selling computer components and the guts of the PC. Since hardware is basically a commodity these days, margins are very slim.

Therefore, you will need to focus on training, service and support as the primary reason customers do business with you, not just hardware sales. How you market and deliver all of these components - and then market yourself as the expert - will be the key to your success.
