I upgraded my storage and ram on my PC so now I have these two extra components sitting around. I kind of want to build the tiniest PC I can. Where can I find some discussion for it?

Or what other things might they be used for that I wouldn’t even think of?

Thanks :)

    Not likely. You’d still have tk buy the rest of it…, and cheaping out on everything., that’s still 50 for the case, PSU, mobo and the cpu is going to go to 100+ very quickly.

    Used ram and m.2 cards; cheap everything else… built by a rando… (no offense, OP,) you’d make more selling the ram on eBay or something. (Five bucks, maybe.)

      I bet you could make money if you buy some cheap ass components, ~500 for a budget case/mobo/cpu/psu. Slap a decent gpu in it and upcharge the shit out of it like people on ebay do. No GPU for $1250 lmfao

        Yeah… that probably won’t sell.

        People can put actual dog poop for a billion dollars.

        Doesn’t mean any one is going to buy it.

          Just an example of how marked up they can be. I’m sure if you put a ~$700 build on there you could make a couple hundred bucks no sweat.

      (no offense, OP)

      None taken. I am absolutely a rando. Selling the stuff seems like the smartest idea. 8gb ram is so old and “small” anyways :)
