So... Nice site so far but it would be nice if you offer some additional features over your competitors.

I personally do not need the latest and greatest, however it would be nice to help me optimize on a different set of factors.

For example, I have a lot of interest in building power efficient machines. Rather than having to look up power consumption for individual parts, it would be great if you had the ability to generate optimal configurations given power and noise considerations.

Similarly, if you could have a generator for minimally different Hackintoshes (eg OS X running with minimum hacks), I think you would find a lot of interest from that particular user base.

PS. Playing around with the various configurators for different parts, it seems that there are options missing. For example:

1) Can't find 16GB Ballastix Sport Low Profile memory

2) Can't find Intel low power processors; T-series

3) Can't filter on 80 Plus level for power supplies

4) For a low(er) power build, I do not want the largest power supply. Conversely, I want the lowest capable of powering my setup.

5) Ability to easily find a video card meeting my needs: single slot GPU Nvidia Maxwell suitable for HTPC.
