What about some analog kits? I've built my home stereo, (speakers), phono pre-amp and a bunch of other stuff. Lots of fun and very rewarding.

16 points in 12 minutes? Weird. Never seen something like this for a Tell HN post (particularly on a slow Saturday).

BTW cool idea. Good luck!

Thanks. I guess the post just got lucky :D

Edit: I have no idea why this got locked up: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1663112

Some friends of mine actually created a new account so they could comment. I really don't think I'll opt for a negative publicity by trying to make fake accounts and _then_ promote my business.

If you do suspect I have been doing it go take a look at the IP addresses if you like. I don't know how else to prove it.

In fact I do have two accounts on HN (n9986 and 9circuits), I didn't even use that to up vote. This post was honestly viral as it got re tweeted by friends and their friends.

My aim to get some positive feedback ended up with this.

Anyhow, doesn't matter now that this has been down voted to oblivion.

You should link to a bunch of tutorials. Will help people who are just starting out. Maybe give a combo offer on the items mentioned in the tutorial too :)

Congrats. Never thought someone would decide to service this very niche market in India
