I worked for a company that sold PC's and mid-high end A/V during the 90's and early 2000's.  I remember the "truck load sales" when you could buy a non name brand clone and see every brand of part within it.  There were so many awesome clone PCs during the 90's.  We had the BTO shops as well, I bought a couple from them.  Did you have guys building them in their basements or garages?  I had a couple of buddies that would advertise in the local rags, and BTO for and just charge an "assembly fee" otherwise "cost for parts."  What as a PTO?
