For as long as I have been reading/writing about computers I've always loved articles where people walk through the building of their own computer. Buyer's guides are fun, but that's not what I mean. I'm talking about someone who is building a computer for a reason and then talking about the components that they used, how they went to together, and the result. It doesn't matter if it's the smallest/cheapest/most powerful/etc. what matters is your goals and how you went about building a computer to accomplish them while working our real life limitations, like space and price. If you are interested (or have no idea what I am talking about) you can check out my latest PC build article or Josh Korwin's, which also ran on Geek. Logic Supply just did a great one on their blog using a Chenbro case and a Gigabyte Mini-ITX motherboard. It's very well done and reflects the advanced understanding of the components and how they work together that make these articles so interesting. Being an online retailer they have access to all sorts of great gear as well as a more experience working with the parts than almost anyone else. It's very interesting, and it's got to be the best way I can think of to inform consumers about your products. Tech Report has been doing them for a long time as well, though I can't seem to find my favorite on their site. (I'll keep looking, but I thought it was called the "Danger Box"...) These articles are a lot of work- not just on the writing side, but the research, the building, troubleshooting, testing, etc.- so we don't see them that often. We do see a lot of "Build a $500 gaming computer" type posts, but these are generally just going through Newegg and picking out some parts. They can't be helpful and fun to read, but without a computer being built, you don't get the same insights into the final product. I used to do these posts much more frequently. They were not only loads of fun, but they were generally my most successful articles (see "The Mini-ITX Project"). I don't do them as often largely because of time and space constraints. Additionally interest in articles like this has been waning. I won't get into it too much here, but with so many people moving to laptops and thanks to recent hardware advances outpacing software ones you don't have to build to have a great computer.
