A computer-implemented method and system for recommending electronic component connectivity configurations and marketing information to users of certain electronic equipment based upon information received from the user. The method includes providing a user interface display containing data representing a group of predetermined user-selectable electronic components, receiving data representing a user-selected subset of electronic components from the group of predetermined user-selectable electronic components, retrieving from a database attributes associated with each component of the subset of electronic components, comparing the subset of electronic components with the associated attributes to determine an appropriate component configuration, and presenting data representing the electronic component configuration to the user.
