Someone who is graphically talented should slap together a nice boilerplate image with the parts list on it and host it to imageshack or photobucket. that way we can just post the image when someone asks.
I saw those threads.. but not one that came strait out and said:
"This is currently the best of what to buy for your new computer"
That would be impossible though.
To be able to have something where you enter in what your budget is, what you want to do with it, and any requirements you have. And then give you a parts list would be a tremendous undertaking.
And seeing how fast new computer parts come out, would be an endless process of constantly updating.
