I've been building this over the past few years. I left my job working on Google Earth to make a 3D PC builder. We have quite a few users so it's able to fund our team but I realized I never shared on HN!

Why are so many gaming parts made with annoying leds? I wouldn't mind having a case with a transparent window in order to quickly check if said computer needs a cleanup but those lights are so annoying this is a no go.

I could disable most leds from my mainboard settings but not for my gpu. I can turn off the lights of my cheap mechanical keyboard with a shortcut but they always turn on by default when I turn the computer.

Is there a database of parts without stupid lights included by default? It should be the norm but it seems it has become rare or you have to pay a premium or install conpanion apps to be able to turn them off by default..

Wow moment opening your web, thanks for sharing, going to dig in!

any chance this can model airflow one day?

interface feels quite cluttered

This looks like a simple idea executed PERFECTLY.

Shared with a few people I know - and I will refer to this instead of "asking my bro" about techy hardware stuff.

Since i personally have a VISUAL learning style, this is right up my alley.

good hunting + best of luck with this. ps. I adore the website design + messaging too. 10/10

Yeah because building a _REAL_ system has become too expensive :(

This is actually a pretty cool use case for 3D in the browser. Being able to visualize component compatibility instead of just reading specs makes a big difference, especially for people building their first PC.
