What Is The Direction With Hardware Now?

I have a small business in the US fixing laptops, desktops, cell phones, etc.  I want to expand and offer home desktops and servers, but I am at a loss as to what people want today.   My sale offerings on "white box" home servers running WHS11 bundled with Stablebit Drivepool in a plain mid tower box has not sold at all.    

I'm thinking of offering WHS11 in a mini pc (ITX board)package that is portable using this case with a Pentium dual core processor and appropriate memory and HDD.    This case measures only 7.5 x 8.5 x 2 inches (192x210x62 mm) so its pretty darn small.   If fits a standard intel CPU with fan, believe it or not, with an external "brick" power supply like a laptop.   Its super portable, and I'm hoping that will make it popular.

I am currently offering this case built as a windows 8 desktop with wi-fi, advertising it as an "all in one" machine too.   This month not one buyer, but a few views on the web page.   I went to the retail stores in my area and found that the "all-in-one" pcs were sold out in a few stores indicating to me that they are popular.   So I thought this machine would work well as an all-in-one machine like is shown in this pic mounting on the back of a flat panel.

I am getting very worried.    I have been laid off after 28 years at the worlds largest software service company as a senior software developer and project manager.  They pretty much got rid of everyone like me in one big corporate restructuring and shipped the work off shore.  

Been looking for work for a year, but all I am told is I'm over qualified.   At 54 yrs old, its hard to get hired.  And I'm looking at jobs up and down the east coast from NY to Florida, willing to sell my home of 21 years and relocate just for work, so its not like I'm not looking.   Even applied for jobs in California, Texas, and Arizona.   And Australia too.  Though this is a good opportunity for a life change, so if I'm going to move, move big.  LOL!

I'm trying to make ends meet by using my PC technician skills to pay the bills.   None of my PC offerings have sold enough to even cover the investment in PC inventory/hardware to build desktops, large and small.   I have a business license, and MicroSoft partnership as an OEM retailer, but Microsoft gives me no big savings on volume software licenses, so its hard to compete at the software level with the big name brand computers.

If anyone knows what the direction of home computing is going, it would help me to focus on that market. 

This is not an offer to sell my stuff here, and I'm not listing my online store for that reason.   Just getting frustrated. 

Suggestions are greatly appreciated.  

Thanks,

Mark.
