I'd love to get some feedback from the HN community on a webapp side project I've been working on recently. In the spirit of November launch month, I'd like to offer up PCPartPicker:

http://pcpartpicker.com

PCPartPicker provides computer part selection, compatibility guidance, and multi-part pricing comparisons for DIY PC builders.

I originally created it to solve a problem I had at my day job: quickly pricing out cheap systems for a small cluster I was building. After talking with friends and colleagues it appeared there might be utility for the PC building community. I was encouraged by feedback to a HN comment regarding hard drive prices (here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1546145 ), so I decided to continue on with the concept.

My target audience is DIY PC builders who are building systems of moderate complexity. I think with some work I can target both novice builders as well as more serious builders/gamers. However, I'd like to validate the concept further before investing considerably more time.

Any feedback you have would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! Philip
