The Job
A PC configurator and storefront: pick the parts for a whole machine, or name a price and let the store build to it.
How it was done
One coherent specification
The configurator spans CPU, motherboard, RAM, GPU and storage as one coherent specification, not five separate shopping lists.
Built to a budget
A budget-constrained selector assembles a compatible component set to a price the customer picks.
