Thought's about this Section of the Forum.

Demos

As I was browsing "New Builds and Build Logs". Lots of "Will you please look at my build for me" post's have been appearing. Now, This is a Build-specific section of LinusTechTips forum, but surely there should be a section similar to Reddit's Build-a-PC, and a section dedicated to fully completed builds and Build Logs.

I love helping out newbie's chosing parts and steering them in the right direction, but I also love to check out other peoples awesome rigs. I really hate wading through all the newbie's to get to the finished builds. One of the reasons why I continually post in BaPC over on Reddit, but theres also a specific function to "auto-search" for Completed builds.

Just thought I'd post my opinions on it. I'd love to see if we can nip this in the bud before we're over-run by "Need the a-ok on my build, can you guys help?!?!" posts in between the builds where people spend insane amounts of time and money on them, and make an effort to show them off, and they get pushed to the bottom by 1000's of non-finalised builds.

Reddit does this quite well, with /r/buildapc and /r/buildapcforme. Both fantastic subreddits and something I'd love to see here.

TL;DR: I like Build Logs and completed builds, I also like helping out newbies. I propose a new section be created specifically to act as a place for new builders to ask their questions.

Seems as though I can't edit my post, Yay VBulletin5.

If this thought does get picked up by the higher ups, Other Mods, Admins or even the Legendary Slick and Linus, I would volunteer to maintain such section of the forum, as I am a work at home free-lance graphic designer. So plenty of free-time in between work and Battlefield 3.

I agree, there should be a "Help with building a PC" and "Showcase your beast of a rig"

Definitely agree.

To be honest, I'm more interested in helping people choose their builds than I am with telling someone why their build is not well-rounded ;)

@SlickPC, make a Computer Build Help section ;P
