DELL INC.                 

Michael Dell, while still a student at the University of Texas at Austin, founded the company as "PC's [sic] Limited" with just $1000, in his room at Jester Center in 1984 to sell IBM-compatible computers built from stock components. He founded the company on the principle that by selling personal computer systems directly to customers, PC's Limited could best understand their needs and provide the most effective computing solutions to meet those needs
