Designed for modularity and upgradability, the Framework mainboard kit provides users with a small form factor and range of processor options. If you don't want certain things (power adapter, case, Ethernet networking and USB expansions) you can get the bare i5 board for $199.

Have been following Framework closely for years. Really cool concept, but a bit too expensive for 11th Gen considering you can get an entire laptop for around the same price. Still, I am happy to see them make this available.

If you have a 3d printer the board on its own is a pretty good price, especially if you have spare RAM and drive laying around. Skip the ethernet add on and use wifi, then you just need a power adapter. Granted that's a lot of ifs, but I'm tempted.

In for one! Out the door for $250+tax:
  • $200 Mainboard
  • $40 case
  • $10 USB-C card

I have my own USB-C power supply and USB-C hub, so connectivity will be taken care of that way. Some spare RAM and an old NVME drive will round out this new machine!
