Hey guys, long time lurker here! Very Happy

After having used laptops in recent years, I decided it's time to build a new rig. As you know, preparation/research is key for any new build, especially if you've been outside the loop for a few years.

Well, while checking out youtube, google images, etc. to find inspirations for my new build, I came up with an idea/solution to the problem. Basically, a website which allows you to run a "profile" for your PC with the much needed picture gallery and hardware components list.

I don't know man, I'm an experienced developer and it took me just about 250 hours to build the website thus far. Just moments ago I upped it to the server and I just want to get some general feedback before I invest even more time into this hobby project.

Please check it out and tell me what you think about it!

Thanks in advance! Smile

Actually looks pretty cool. If you manage to gather a lot of content, could be very interesting, for example, for builders to look for possible cooling combinations or see if a case is possible to be used in certain configurations.

Site looks well designed and easy to navigation, which is very important in a site mostly about filtering and content lookup.

One nit pick, filter selection was strange to me. In components, selecting a category replaces the current category with the selected one. But in filters, selecting a filter selects it in addition to the currently selected filter(s). This seemed odd to me. Perhaps have ctrl-click to add and normal click to replace selection?

Cool stuff! Smile

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I get ya about the selection of filters. I'm going to change that when I'm adding more options. (Gonna move/redesign it into a horizontal filter menu).

And you totally understood the main "selling" point of this site. Wink I think the strongest benefit will be for researching case/cooling setups, especially fitting components for custom loops. Smile

You have some errors on page, fix them.

But aside from that it looks nice. Clean.

What kind of errors? Typos or script errors?

But that's just me.
Moreover, well done!


I agree! Very Happy Once I've finalized most of the site I'll be adding a dark theme as option! Wink
