there can be lots of cash in that. I made quite a bit with a biz like that. a few things you should consider:
1. don't go for a shop - do house visits... people are buzy... at least the ones that have money
2. specialize in a specific area (security, networking, ...) If you are any good, you phone won't stop ringing
3. always make sure your customer is happy - I even did quite a few jobs for free or almost free... it always came back double... a happy customer comes back and brings his friends/family with him.
4. don't be cheap, demand good money for good work.
5. walk the extra mile for every single customer, even for those annoying smart asses - it does pay off. show them how to do things, teach them a trick, show them a application they might use, etc...
6. service is better money than hardware - I never sold anything but service
If you know your stuff and you know how to give good service - you'll bank.
