The idea is that you have a spare mainboard laying around if you've upgraded. A cheap $40 case is a great way of putting that hardware to use.
- iLoveOncall 4y agoYes, which is why I said it makes sense for Framework but not for other constructors where you can't upgrade the board but keep the shell...
- tracker1 4y agoIt would make a lot of sense for a lot of others as well... Screens crack, keyboard keys pop off, batteries wear out. People will generally upgrade to a new laptop at that point. Being able to repurpose the compute/ram/storage in a stand-alone case is a great option for many old laptops. And while many may not want the hassle, there's plenty of value for a home server with an external storage drive for a lot of people.
