Just finished buying all the parts I need to assemble my Framework 16. Here is the comparison between buying the DIY Edition vs buying all the individual parts. Not counting the extra stuff like the Dbrand skin and the extra fasteners I actually came out ahead by $101.57 (Honestly if I had ordered all of it at once I’d have saved $70!) I also already own some of the Expansion cards from the FW13 that I will be reusing for the time being. And since I will be using the 13 as a media server I’m temporarily transferring its Webcam over to the 16 until I can get my hands on the 2nd gen webcam (It’s never in stock on payday lol). Since budget was the reason I did this I used ram and a hard drive from Amazon. I’ll be home in about a week so I will take pictures and post them at a latter date.
