For the last 10 years or so I would build at least one custom built computer every weekend for folks in business environments or for home use. I have not built one machine in the last 5 months. The market for custom built high end systems has completely dried up so it stands to reason the broader based low end systems that would typically be sold in the box stores would be soft as well. I think the only contract manufacturer that is doing well is the Foxconn division that is cranking out all the Apple phones.

It's not just computers. It's stereos, TVs, appliance control boards, game consoles, home and core network routers, cell phones, etc. I don't disagree with your point that the business is down because "things" aren't selling, just suggesting that you need to expand your idea of what PCBs are used in, so when something turns up, you'll recognize it! Happy investing!
