Viewing customer's original parts?

[Ser Lagsalot]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm having some issues in the campaign when benchmark upgrading and 'resetting' customer PCs. Mostly I have issues defaulting builds back to their original parts because they aren't marked. Well a few times parts have been marked, but most of the time not.
Is there a way to get the game to consistently mark parts, or am I going to have to grab a pad and pencil?

Normally it's the part all the way to the bottom of the list since it was the last you took out. If you don't keep used stuff like I do, it will also say "used."

Unfortunately I've got a small collection of used parts. And while trying to upgrade for benchmark purposes, I tend to swap out stuff frequently.

I think I'm going to have to give up on benchmark requests after this job in any case. It's a whole lotta work.

then just scroll all the way to the bottom of that part list, as I mentioned. Let's say you swapped a ram stick; that part will always bee all the way to the bottom of the list. Or as you said, you can always write it down, even if it's a bit silly to do so.

Or yeah, just give up on benchmark jobs. I normally don't accept these too often because customers have unrealistic expectations with their budget/score ratio.

The only way to find the used parts if they have been mixed up because your trying different configurations is to put in the used parts and see which one doesn’t add to the budget. Once you find this it was the original part. That’s the only way I’ve found to solve this. Unless you write it down somewhere.
I haven’t had any problem with the benchmark jobs if you use the HTML calculator that’s all over this forum. Might be cheating to some but doesn’t waste my time trying to figure out different combos.

This calculator, and nope to me it's a great helper, and not cheating.
