I'm thinking of setting up a website where you can make a profile with your system specs, then upload screens from games - to give others an impression on how it will run on their machine and similar systems. Has this been done before? I can't find anywhere that does it to compare (reads "steal") ideas. Good/bad idea?

Sounds a good idea.

You'd probably need masses of storage space though, I can imagine the database getting huge.

EDIT: I'd be interested to see how you'd do this, because comparing systems and what not would be quite difficult as there is so many types of components and combinations available. You'd have to implement some sort of "similar" feature of some sorts.

OK, cool, you strangers on the internet have convinced me. Just got to think of a name now...

Very good idea ... I would have thought it should have existed somewhere already ... but perhaps not.

Go for it.

Sounds like a pretty good idea. You could then have a search function which selects someone with a similar system to yours, maybe.

Yeah that is a good idea, why hasn't it been done already?
