Hi! Welcome to GooeyPC.com!
Build your own PC? Yes, you can! Since June 2009, the developers at GooeyPC.com
have been working diligently to bring the exciting world of custom home computing
to everyone. By developing an efficient, reliable method of selecting computer parts
for upgrades and new builds, GooeyPC.com will flatten the learning curve and build
the confidence of new builders entering this exciting and rewarding hobby.
For years, computer companies have been selling cookie cutter home computers to
customers while claiming to offer the freedom of customization to suit customer’s
needs at the “lowest prices”. What they fail to mention is that YOU can customize
AND build your own computer at home for hundreds of dollars less!
By building your own computer from the parts you select, you have complete freedom
of what goes into your system. You select the brand, manufacturer, cost range, and
specifications for your needs right down to the very technologies you want. You
are not constrained by the limitations of what the computer companies want you to
buy.
There are many online vendors who literally have thousands of computer parts to
choose from. Sites like NewEgg.com and TigerDirect.com provide their customers with
thousands of the latest and greatest selection of computer parts on the market today.
However, it can be like herding cats when trying to build a selection of parts going
into a new build; or even a simple upgrade.
For the novice, sorting through the tens of thousands of specifications and subtle
differences from one part to the next can be a daunting task at first. Though it
gets easier with practice, the current methods by which PC builders must select
their parts is inefficient at best, and even seasoned builders make mistakes due
to simple oversights. Mistakes which result in money spent on parts which are incompatible,
or don’t fit the needs of the user and lost time in waiting for the correct part
to be reordered and delivered. Even without mistakes, it takes time to go through
the selection and validation process.
That’s where GooeyPC.com comes in.
Now in pre-beta, GooeyPC.com boasts the only computer parts compatibility tool
on the internet which enables you to virtually build your custom home pc right on our
website! Our unique part selection process combined with our compatibility engine
puts the power in your hands to design your own custom home computer and then purchase
the selected parts from a variety of online vendors.
GooeyPC.com will immediately alert you of any potentially incompatible parts and indicate
why. After starting a new
Project
, you can design a Rig from scratch, or by providing
the site with a comma separated list of manufacturer’s model numbers which GooeyPC can then validate for you. Once you design you new Rig, or select upgrades for
an old Rig, you can go to any of our listed vendors and purchase your parts.
GooeyPC.com provides its customers with a robust selection process to select parts from
our database of nearly 7,000 computer parts. Each part will be programmatically validated
for compatibility with its connecting parts as they are selected! From interface compatibility
to the number of available connectors of a specific type, as well as feature and power requirements.
For the novice, this means a flatter learning curve in selecting compatible parts.
For the seasoned builder, this means a more efficient use of their time and effort
in designing a new build for potential customers.
Again, welcome to GooeyPC.com! Add this site to your favorites and watch as we develop
the most robust, and potentially the only online computer parts compatibility tool
on the Internet! We also recommend registering for a free account with an option
