alt Hacker NewsShow HN: Build a PC in 3D in the Browser
I've been building this over the past few years. I left my job working on Google Earth to make a 3D PC builder. We have quite a few users so it's able to fund our team but I realized I never shared on HN!

Wow moment opening your web, thanks for sharing, going to dig in!
Good luck!
This is really cool.
This looks like a simple idea executed PERFECTLY.
Shared with a few people I know - and I will refer to this instead of "asking my bro" about techy hardware stuff.
Since i personally have a VISUAL learning style, this is right up my alley.
good hunting + best of luck with this. ps. I adore the website design + messaging too. 10/10
Yeah because building a _REAL_ system has become too expensive :(

This is actually a pretty cool use case for 3D in the browser. Being able to visualize component compatibility instead of just reading specs makes a big difference, especially for people building their first PC.

Why are so many gaming parts made with annoying leds? I wouldn't mind having a case with a transparent window in order to quickly check if said computer needs a cleanup but those lights are so annoying this is a no go.
I could disable most leds from my mainboard settings but not for my gpu. I can turn off the lights of my cheap mechanical keyboard with a shortcut but they always turn on by default when I turn the computer.
Is there a database of parts without stupid lights included by default? It should be the norm but it seems it has become rare or you have to pay a premium or install conpanion apps to be able to turn them off by default..
