YMMV - MINISFORUM UM690 BAREBONES $189 After discount code FB30
ADD TO CART TO SEE DISCOUNT
This is a BAREBONES computer, meaning you have to supply your own DDR5 SO-DIMM memory module(s) and NVMe drive! Both of those are very expensive right now, but this could be a good deal if you have pre-AI price jacked parts that you can install yourself.
NO OPERATING SYSTEM - if you are looking for a plug and play Windows computer, this is NOT for you!

Edit: It says "Duty-Free for US & Canada ' Tax/duty included for eligible regions" on the product page so I'm assuming the answer is no. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I really want something with a 780M IGPU for emulation. Every time I see a deal on the 680M I talk myself out of it.

They are also selling "Tariff insurance" for $35 if you look at the bottom portion of the page...
Yeah. Just like all those sellers on AliExpress who quote "import fees included", and then you get a tariff bill from the carrier.
I've actually been seriously considering getting one of these to replace my mother's old Dell desktop. About the only thing she does is play Youtube videos and Farmtown. Obviously, this would easily be able to handle that.
There have been a couple of decent Geekom, GMKtec, and AceMagic deals recently but I keep talking myself out of it, thinking that I should just build an AM4 system instead.

I've heard of the brand but don't know anything about their quality. The seller has also had some recent bad reviews.

If you have access to a 3D printer, print this bottom case to fit a slim 120mm fan: https://www.printables.

I've heard of them too. One thing I noticed is that I have never seen BOSGAME sell barebones themselves (even on AliExpress or their own home page), so I suspect that 3rd party seller is likely buying them, pulling the SSD/memory (BOSGAME advertises that system with only the choice of either 32GB or 64GB of memory), and selling them separately.
I filled out the contact form asking about the tariffs and fees. No answer yet. Chat was unavailable. I would bite on this deal if I knew for sure there weren't any extra fees.

I do agree that it might be a good deal, especially if you have a couple of DDR5 4800 or 5600 SODIMMs and a spare nvme drive.
Getting a barebones of this model might actually be a good thing if it works. Back in November of last year, I recall reading about a few situations where BOSGAME was shipping these with subpar quality memory modules that were causing problems.
Downside is that I bet you get absolutely no warranty coverage whatsoever from BOSGAME if the seller is stripping the machines.
But, for 200 bucks, it isn't a bad risk -- I'm tempted to order a couple 8GB SODIMMs from eBay and order one myself. Especially since you have the 30 day Amazon return window.

Not sure that I trust that Bosgame PC. I would look and see if you can find out if the bosgame PC runs cool or not. I always worry about the longevity of most of these mini-pcs.
In the past I ordered an ACEMAGIC S3A Mini PC but every time I used a usb port it would freeze. It was impossible to use so I had to return it. I later ordered a refurb minisforum but they cancelled my order and said the PC was bad when they tested. That means they listed an untested PC for sale. Maybe it's a sign I should avoid these things lol.
