Is there something for visualizing part sizes?

I was just wondering if there was a website or program for getting 3D visualizations of parts and cases, so you can "prototype" your build before you actually build it.

 

Hello,

 

PC Building Simulator kind of does that but it's a game and it doesn't have all existing parts. Otherwise I don't think there is.

You can also look at some custom cooling configurators.  Even if you are not planning on custom loop cooling, some of them do have case selection tools in there as well as various boards, GPUs, etc to choose from.  Of course, you would have to put up with choosing rads and whatnot, but it could give you a rough approximation of what it would look like (assuming that you are not trying for the ulta compact builds that would not stand a chance of being custom cooled and whose parts probably would not be in any of their databases.

 

Personally, @Meganter's solution is probably the best, but you would have to buy that.  I know that I have it and in addition to being a fairly simple and fun game, it would definitely suit your purposes as long as you were planning on choosing parts from their lists.  They do have a lot of the big name and main stream companies in there, so depending on where you are located at in the world, chances are that you would find the parts in there.  Their Steam Store listing has their partner list on there so you could check that out.  The custom cooling configurators are about the only free ones that I could think of that could even come remotely close, and they certainly would not give you a "real life" detailed look if that would be what you were after.  If you are after the most true to life approximation, then PC Building Simulator would be the way to go.

SketchUp had at some point library of PC gear. Though they would just be very generic stuff, mainly for testing out custom loops and DIY builds.
