What would that solve? Then you'll end up with a big list of stuff no one wants to sift through and you're back to the same problem. Reading those threads won't kill you, I promise. :)

depends on how you handel the list.
if you kan make the list show systems that handel 1080p sorted after motherboards etc.

it's no problem for me becus i alredy have a working system.

wiki working hardware list.

%HardwareType:
%Hardware - works || doesn't work

That should fill up fairly quickly at least with the most common hardware. Perhaps a page for Windows and a page for Linux, on the Linux page you might add a distro column.

I just posted this question earlier today. It'd be great to see a wiki of working configurations. I'd like to build a Linux box to replace my Xbox, but have no idea what works and what doesn't work as far as motherboards, graphics cards, media remotes, etc. Would be nice to have a list of known working system configurations to go by. If there some issue with using a particular mobo or graphics card, it'd be nice to know that as well too in order to avoid making the same mistakes.
