I was just thinking, how much of the workings of the overclockers shop is automated and how much requires human input?

for example, when the final item in stock is sold, does the website update automatically? Or when something isn't selling much, is it automatically brought to the company's attention so it can be considered for This Week Only?

I'm just interested I guess.
 
It's probably all automated down to a guy packing the boxes properly. It may even be that the items are brought together at a central point?
 
Database driven I would have though, so when an item is out of stock the website would be updated automatically. At least thats how I think it would work.

The real secret is that the whole place is run by robots and pre-cognizance-level AI.

Gibbos a robot, or an Android!

Wonder if we can hack him to give us X1950s, X6800s and PC8000 Ram free :D

Edit: Oh and Dell 3005s, just basically hand over the store to us! :D :p ;)
 
Everything is database driven, except for the human packers. If someone can recommend a database that can pack, I'll buy it.

If it is just a concept your after, I would gladly sell you it. ;)

Probably would not work, but you never know unless you invest... :p
