Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Sebastian Thrun: Google's Driverless Car
So you want to build a PC, eh? PCIncubator is here to help
PCIncubator aims to help you find the right parts at the right prices to build your dream PC.We've all built a PC at some point. It's fun, isn't it? Pick our your case, the mother board, memory, GI Joe Stickers.
What?
The pain in the neck part of the process is finding the right parts that you need and not paying too much for them...or buying really crappy parts as a default because you don't want to break the bank.
The parts are all out there, the internet is vast, but PCIncubator keeps tabs on the stuff that you need, the prices that are right, and does so very nicely if we may say.
They use NewEgg which is the geek chic place to shop for parts. They also keep a price history of all items so you can wait for prices to go back down if they go up. It's kind of like shopping for airline tickets. It also gives you that Dell and Apple builder feel
Once you've picked your perfect PC parts, you can toss them all into a NewEgg cart and away you go!
Too bad that you can't get Windows XP anymore :(

http://www.ncix.com FTW! Seriously...I love their site. I work in a damn PC store, and sometimes I order from them because their pricing is just that good. Oh, Canada!

Too bad the incubator gets it wrong - it's allowing me to select an AM2 MB with a socket 939 CPU. WTF?

That's because the boxes aren't linked.. notice if you choose the Case with the 420W Powersupply it doesn't unselect the 430Watt power supply by default.you do need to check motherboard and processer to make sure they match..

Great idea; but I can't find any way to select components other than those already listed. Kinda' limiting.

Looks like the 1's they offer in the boxes are the highest rated components in that category.. they do have the see more options in this category link which links to the page at newegg.. so that is an option just not as all on 1 pagish or whatever.. also to select intel instead of AMD you can choose the icons at the top right.. I thought it was weird that their default AMD processor is the 64 X2 and the Intel is the quad core.. apparently they take into account Rating and amount of users rating it that in case of tie to select the default config

I like the fact that I can get a link to my config and watch the price. RSS feeds would be awesome, too.
