    “https://minihomelabs.com/hwdb - Basically the PCPartPicker of used OEM hardware. It's harder than it should be to compare old pcs for home labbing so I've been building this to scratch my own itch. Right now it's more focused on specs but I'm working on expanding out to to include things like viable upgrades and explaining the different model lineups.”
