i have an idea for a stickied thread on here

[emmett82]

a thread where people can list all the parts that they want to put in a full custom build they are doing or planing on doing. something like this would be good for wanna be fully custom comp builders (like me) to get info and advice on parts that could work better or be cheaper and probly the same power if not better ect

The only problem I see with that is, if several people post with their build list in a short period of time, the responses could get confusing. I would think it would be better to post each request to vet a build list in its own thread, perhaps in a separate forum.

hmm now that i think about it i do agree with you it could get clustered fast. maybe it would be great as a sister site dubbed idk www.sevenforumbuilders.com for a example

No need for another site; just another forum within this site would suffice.

ah so like a sub forum similar to how the tutorial page is set up with multiple links and ect

Although it is a nice thought, we do have the Overclocking and Case mods section, there is nothing to stop users posting a new thread of their build log in there.

This might be a good place to start your list for the info. you may need.
So many areas to choose from on the above page.

If I was going to post a list of parts for evaluation, the Hardware and Devices forum might not be a bad place to post.

 

[ThrashZone]

Hardware and devices sounds perfect/ Hardware is what it's all about,
Being I'm as ignorant as it gets on the subject it would be a nice thing to have around,
Educational lol,
Cheers.

I believe the forum can only have so many sticky threads too, so a normal thread would be better, and it reduce the amount of confusion too.

 

[Shadowjk]

Stickies are meant to be popular or important to that forum. If everyone's thread was sticky then not only would it cause confusion but it'd be annoying if I have to scroll past stickies just to get to help request threads from users

The only limit on stickies is mine, any more than 5 looks awful and that's the limit we have decided on

 

[Layback Bear]

Now their is the answer I was waiting for.
I have seen Forums with 2 pages of stickies and it just makes a mess of things.
Thank you z3r010

Paul.

that would be a good place to put it well ill be drawing up my build log n posting it there

 

[paulpicks21]

Yes, I personally think it's the best place to post build logs. The Overclocking and case mods section does not get much traffic in the way of new threads so it won't get lost in 100s of threads like it might in the hardware section.

I look forward to seeing your build log

Paul.

 

[z3r010]

TBH the "Overclocking and Case mods" section could probably be renamed "PC builds and Overclocking"........I'll have a think on that one.

 

[paulpicks21]

How about "PC builds, Mods and Overclocking"

 

[z3r010]

Maybe.

"Custom Builds and Overclocking"
