Message	Determine a workable lead time you could hit 100% of the time as to not dissappoint customers, and quote that as your installed time. Say, "1 week turn around after receipt of your cluster" for example. If it's 2 weeks that's fine, just let the customer know upfront so you don't get swamped. Tack on a reasonable amount for your labor for the install and offer that as a package. Then there are others (such as myself) who may look at this as an opportunity update/upgrade their entire cluster, and don't need the install service. Maybe they want to do LEDs, gauge rings and this screen set up all at once. Then you would quote them a package of the parts required including install instructions. It doesn't look terribly difficult to install. That's my two cents, but I figured you were already thinking that :-) Super impressive work man, very nicely done!
