God this is going to be a fun build.

I see the GTX 690, and I show you my nvidia tnt-2!

Nice try, but if it ain't voodoo, it ain't cutting it!

The build itself will be around $3000 for the parts in total, then I get my hours pay, 15% commission and my companies profit.

It's a fun and nice paying job, and I enjoy it thoroughly.

Not mine, but I show you the MARS II. 

Just for the record, that card weights 2-3 kg's.

that bottom monitor is as high as my monitor is wide

I was looking into starting a job like this. How did you go about getting offers?

I'm more interested in how he managed to acquire such a job at only 16. I'd imagine there would be better candidates for the position with more education/experience than a 16 year old could have.
My guess is family/friend owned business or freelance

Headcrab is partially right.
I do have to have a workers permit because of my age, and my GPA has to stay higher than a 3.0.
The business is a local one, recently started in my small community, owned by friends of my family, so they almost immediately accepted me once I applied.
