Sounds like an excellent idea :)
who is the list going to be made up from? maybe have a poll sometime as to pieces of hardware?
Sounds like a good thing, bound to spawn controversy between the AMD/Intel camps & ATI/Nvidia fans.
Just as a point of interest, how will the poducts be tested? Industry std benchies or more real world tests?
realistically Intel camp don't have much to shout about these days and, neither do nVidia unless it's nForce related.
As for the list names, a variation on an earlier suggestion:
Hexus Hotties
Hexus Potties
:P
Interesting take on things... :)
Hexus Hotlist/Hotties is too similar to Hexus Hotpot, IMHO! :P
Well again pushing the boat out a bit further, but what you tend to find on this board is people asking what is the best setup for say £600, £800 or £1000 quid, or best processor, best gfx card etc etc.
I've always thought A-Lists could do with being based on budget, so instead of having two lists A and B, have a tab that allows you to configure a whole rig, or a single component? and then a budget figure.
Two reasons, the A-list monitor may be a 19" 16ms LCD, cost £600+ most people can't afford that, but in the true meaning of that A List if thats #1 then its #1 regardless of price, So maybe it just needs to be balanced?.
Again just a thought but hopefully might be useful?

What about the Hexus Sexus list?
Hexus Hardcore ?:)
Hot Heavenly HeXus Hardware Hitlist. sucka.
I think a simple bleeding edge / best bang for buck / whoops no budget
system is ample. - people would know their budget and could pick and choose which areas were important for them.
David, praps you could then invite companies to offer their best prices on said components, listing the best 3,4,5 prices, giving heXusers a little discount insentive to go to them, much like komplett seem to like doing on their 'support' forum here. hopefully if they were uk then newegg would have no probs.
definatley a 'booshank' idea.
booshank indeed
The curent Best of the Best is as follows!
High end vids = nVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra
Budget vids = ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
Do-evrything vids = AIW 9800 Pro
Soundcard = SB Audigy 2 ZS Platinum
Serial ATA HD = 740GD Raptor
Pat ATA = Maxtor DiamondMax 10
DVD buner = Sony DRU-700a
LCD monitor = Dell 2001FP
High end CRT = NEC FE2111 SB
Socket 478 mobo = Abit IC7-MAX3
Socket 939 mobo = Asus A8V Deluxe
Athlon XP mobo = Asus A7N8X Deluxe rev. 2.0
I covered it all except the mem and powersupy, oh and proc... but thats your choice.... :p
definately a brilliant idea!
what the uk needs is a site, that shows the best of each hardware in each "financial" category...
- 1 - extreme hardcore gaming kit
- 2 - mid range gear
- 3 - budget hardware
also, a comparison of amd and intel cpus/mobos might not be a bad idea, cos there are simply so many to choose from, and it might show what is best performance-for-pound... anyway, id be happy to help out, let me know if you want me to...
We are on the case ;)
Whoa! What constitutes the `best`, surley it is dependent on needs, requirements, compatability and so on. Also, who wants to take responsibility, for someone hanging on every word of a review and coming a cropper with their hard earned cash. Just look at any customer reviews on the likes on ebuyer, these people have paid out their cash and some are praising, and some are slating the item, why? Diff folks, diff strokes!
I would love the idea, but I am afraid that there are so many pitfalls
I'm sure that if the Hexus team do something like this, then they'll say the pros and cons of the item, as well as recommending different parts for different jobs. As for taking responsibility, the A-List is only a recommedation - it's up to the person buying the stuff whether they want to buy it or not.Quote:
