Hey everyone! I'm thinking of starting a hardware reviews site (I can already hear the collective 'not another one' remark...so, spare me. ) and I was curious as to what your thoughts were. Computer hardware is something that, generally, I am really good with and, more importantly, my writing skills are pretty good--I'm also quite good at analyzing things in a methodical and logical manner.
I understand that I'm probably going to run into quite a few problems/roadblocks if/when I go ahead with this but I feel that it may be a worthwhile thing to do. I already have a webserver up and running as well as some extra bandwidth that I could use so, other than lacking a custom domain name, I'm pretty much set in that regard. The main issue, however, will be financing the whole operation. I realize that I may get some free stuff out of doing reviews as well as some ad money down the road but, initially, I am most likely going to be the one who will end up paying for just about everything as, I'm sure, is the case with most other new review sites (unless they already have connections).
So, yeah, comments/thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.
As a side note, I really love the [H] but I just want to have my own little place to try my hand at hardware reviews, editorial pieces, and crazy/interesting/informative projects.
