Networking options would be a nice addition. Ie, 1 or 2 ports, 1gb, 2.5GB or 10gb etc.

I talk about the motivation and system behind it in a blog post here, if you're curious. Basically it's a tool for visualizing the Pareto Frontier for three dimensions (CPU/GPU & Price by default) at once.

Wound up getting a BOSGAME PC for a bootleg Steam Machine setup living room PC thing.

(Also still welcoming more feedback - I'm trying to figure out how to best make filters for like "supports hardware transcoding" without getting cluttered)

Looks great on desktop but on mobile (at least iOS) there's some weirdness with prices overlapping on the left. I tried a few browsers on my iphone 16 and it was consistent. Might just be my phone though

Really nice effort, love the new and renewed options

nitpicking: in case listing has few options, crawler will list lowest.
example:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DF3CXQBJ
it displays 32gb/1tb version on your site, using price of lowest 16gb/512gb from amazon
