@Cyu I can't use it because I have to keep track of the number of 19 inches screens sold, put FiveStar rating on each screen type... Drupal is built around nodes and when you mix attributes with nodes you loose all the functionality Drupal offers.

@Ryan, @Lyle I like what you are both saying and it'll work great for me.
I need it badly so if you are not going to implement it in the near future I'll step in and contribute.
I need your help. Please tell me where to start. Any input will be appreciated.
What is the function I need to create a product kit dynamically?
How do I populate the cart with this function?

On the development forum I offered using the amazing webform module.

- Create forms which are nodes.
- Create any number of fields with custom markup.
- Extend the module and add custom fields.
- Control the number of times a user can submit the form in a day/week/year.
- Soon you'll be able to populate field options dynamically.
- Add custom validation.
- Redirect the user to a desired page. It could be a page containing php code for processing and dynamically creating product kits and then send the data to the cart.

Imagine you could use taxonomy terms attached to products to populate special catalog pages. You are not just presenting them as in VIEWS you put them in a form which present a new product kit or a menu for a restaurant. The form controls all the logic and price handeling with ubercart hooks. For example:
- Hot week deal - products with a term "hot".
- Deals for poorly sold products - products with a term "lousy".

What do you think?
