PC planning software?

[Zando_]

IDK where else to put this, so here it is. Is there any software for PCs that lets you build a virtual one, picking all your components so you can see what it looks like? Kind of like the car configurators where you pick what you want and then get to see what it looks like. Or are there just too many possible combos to build a model of each? If they worked with PCPartPicker to pull all the pricing, made a standard for the 3D model size, and then all the manufacturers got on board, it could work. Sheesh, I'd happily pay $20 or so bucks for that. 

 

So so basically kind of like the Lego designer software, but for PCs.

There is a pretty big library of PC components on SketchUp, but not nearly all components. It would be.. Eh, decent I guess.

The biggest thing would probably be the lighting of the components and how it bounces off the different PCB's and coolers though.

I used both SketchUp & Blender. Both worked

 

(I would say blender is a bit harder tho, bc no premade parts as far as i could find)

That's why I was saying to get the manufacturers on board. They probs already do renders for ads and presentations, so they'd just have to render them to the standard size yet to be decided on. Kind of like MSI's Mystic Light Sync preview on their site, just letting you switch out the components. What I really want to know is how an ASRock Tiachi looks in a black Evolv Glass.
