You can certainly save a few bucks by bundling parts together - about $50USD! If you are purchasing a DIY edition unit, you can even exclude RAM, storage, the power adapter, and probably other options, allowing you to find better priced parts from alternate sources. Framework has “Bring your own!” listed in several sections of the marketplace ‘DIY builder’ page to let users know about that option.
