How about this for an idea

I'm on my way to bed so I'm going to be curt:

I've seen many rig galleries in my time but I have yet to see a comprehensive one like the one I'm about to propose:

Imagine: your looking to buy a new computer. Their are several motherboards out there that pretty much do the same thing: some OC better than others, some are more reliable than others, some need to RMA their motherboard due to Sudden Death Syndrome (DFI NF4 Ultra's), so on and so forth. Imagine if you could search through a rig gallery and find successful overclocks. For example, if you're looking to overclock a socket 478 p4 and you want to do so with PC4000 memory. Imagine what would happen if you could search for the memory you want to buy against the list of rigs we have in the gallery and SX forum would spew out a list of members with that type of memory. Then you can see which board they are using, what BIOS they use with that memory, and what clock frequency they reached with their processor. The person can note why they chose the motherboard they did (as you know the A64 NF3 boards are picky as to which ram they will run and which ram they won't). They can post any problems they experienced with different types of RAM. So on and so forth.

Basically, it would nice to be able to search for a certain part and see what setups are stable when using that part in conjunction with the rest of their parts. This will hopefully take the guesswork out of which parts to buy.

Well i like your idea a lot. The ability to do this wd be beneficial to existing members and wd bring new ones in. Howeva it will be very difficult. I doubt it cd be built into the current plugin so a new datbase wd need to be created. We will see what xms thinks of the idea and how gard it wd realy be. Rep 4 u wen i am at a comp.

Fantastic idea RollerCam... I think that could be a huge turning point for the forum that would draw a lot of new overclockers and seasoned overclockers alike to the forum.

As Dave said I don't know if it's something that could be hacked into the current rig gallery plugin or not. Jim is pretty talented with manipulating his forum environment and there's a possibility this could definately be done.

What do ya Jim? Can this be added of the "Things to do" list?

:beerchug: Cheers RollerCam!
 
Poor Jim :o ....add this to his long list of stuff....maybe this should be shifted up a few notches tho cause its a great idea.....and maybe hidden (mods area) from being stolen as well? Just maa little idea! :p

Just to say that Jim has done a great job so far with SX and thanks to him and all who have made it a great home for me and y'all!!
 
Nice one rollercam540, thats a great idea and it certainly would look kick arse. As to whether its possible or not, is for the Boss man to decide. I'm sure Jim will give it a comprehensive and thorough look over. :)
 
Yeah thats a great idea. I like it.

It will probably take quite a lot of work, but it sounds like a worthwhile modification.

I think its about time i started a to-do list for myself, as all these ideas seem to be getting on top of me :D
