Part of what’s driven the secondary market for Mainboards to date has been their use as single board computers with either the Cooler Master Case or in DIY projects like cyberdecks and gaming handhelds. That is, the existence of those projects doesn’t only help Framework Laptop owners who may want to reuse their old Mainboard, but also creates demand in the market for people who don’t want their old Mainboard to sell it to people who do.

>Part of what’s driven the secondary market for Mainboards to date has been their use as single board computers with either the Cooler Master Case or in DIY projects like cyberdecks and gaming handhelds. But how many customers/people actually do that? Is it a sizeable market to generate demand for these parts, or is it just a few tinkerers to post their DIY projects on reddit? Because price and commodity wise, turning a Framework motherboard into a cyberdeck, becomes a more ugly, impractical and more expensive version of the Steamdeck. Who would do that other than only a handful of enthusiasts/tinkerers?
