^yeah, and make a machine which wee don't really need.

hmm... don't see how it can be competitive exactly.. its more about if you can get components cheap. some may use second hand which is fair enough but not all of us have such connections.

So region is taken out of the equation?

set a price limit in every currency you can think of. and then see what wee do with it.

Problem is... certain parts cost more in different areas. For instance, the new gtx that just came out goes for ~800USD in Australia, and 500USD in the US. That is an extreme example, but if wee are going by pure price, it'll give certain areas an advantage. I think this will end up being a bit harder of a competition with so many different regions partaking.

How about wee all compile our partslists using only one retailer like Newegg? The sell pretty much everything. Wee're not actually intending on building any of these so the lack of UK delivery is a non issue.

That was the idea:

How would the grading go? Also, would futuremarks of similar builds, providing benchmarks as comparisons, and others be an option, or would wee just be listing raw part names?
