Very nice.

I'm sure I'm not alone in having kicked around ideas for something like this for a long time.

Comparing PC builds has been an informal competition / game on various forums for many years.

I expect having more in the way of features to share, compare and feature/track builds could be very popular.

There are people who take great pride in meticulous builds. Giving them a platform to share their work would be great.

Likewise, have a look at any 'Lets Play' vid on YouTube or whatever and you'll see dozens of questions about the configuration that produced the video.

Hooking up with a popular 'caster such that they link to 'their' builds on Pangoly could be a great source of traffic.

Looking forward to seeing how this pans out.
