eComStation.RU site have implemented excellent model to keep database of hardware:
a) the users are posting short reports
(they have 5 minutes only; No barriers, users type simple text and post it; that's all what we can collect from the users;)
b) periodically we are posting large reviews with information how
to install eCS on modern hardware and how to adjust system settings.
