While sales of games and gaming systems have unsurprisingly gone up these past months, supply has also unsurprisingly been unable to keep up with the increasing demand. Even less surprising is the fact that there are people only too willing to take advantage of this situation and sell items at a much higher price than normal. Enraged at these price-gouging practices, one modder took matters into his own hands and made a Nintendo Switch console simply using spare replacement parts.

Imgur user Sarbaaz37 is apparently an experienced modder and also knows how to get his hands on the parts that make up a Switch.
Naturally, an undertaking such as this is not for the faint of heart. The user generously provides a list of parts and a few pointers on what to do. However, he doesn’t include instructions for the Joy-Cons yet as he still has to perfect the process. One month and $199 worth of parts later, he finally has a working DIY Nintendo Switch.

While parts kits have existed in everything for decades it is usually more expensive than buying the original (if everybody adds their 20% or whatever...).
That however is fairly in line with retail which has me slightly curious.
