Intel and Asus have just launched a site yesterday that allows everybody and anybody to help them to design a PC. WebPC is looking for collaborators to work together to help the two companies bring about a “community designed” PC. Their ultimate goal is to be able to actually market this community designed PC, as it would be the first like it in the world. With the motto of “You Dream it. ASUS Builds it. Intel inside it.” on the front page, it’s easy to see how you can get lured in to being a part of the vision.

Apparently, designers from the companies will be lurking on the site as well, checking out the different ideas. General Manager of Intel’s Partner Marketing Group, Mike Hoefflinger says:

“Intel believes the spark for innovation can come from anywhere. That’s why Intel is working with Asus to tap into the creative energy of consumers as they share ideas on designing their ideal PC.”

On the site, there are communities which are then divied up into three different “conversation groups.” You can choose to go chat about netbooks, notebooks or gaming notebooks. They say that they want to hear anything from general ideas, to having you go all out and create your dream PC. There is also a section to go in and vote on ideas already submitted by users.

The site says they are going to give out prizes to “select participants for their creative role in this project.” No real details on what that means yet. Details on prizes will be announced later.

Cool. So tell me…what would your dream PC be like?
