Or they can be found second hand on auction sites. Cclonline had hundreds of MSI z390 A Pro motherboards at £39.99 - I think they sold out very fast, but there will be more offers. Keeping an eye out for deals, I found a gigabyte b365m for £43 including delivery. Something like i5 8400 cpu, a 300 series motherboard and 2x8gb ddr4 ram can be had for around £150-£160. People using older intel can change mobo, ram and cpu keeping everything else. Some people with amd boards can just change the cpu. LOLNot sure a high end machine is needed. Oh well, I'd need to win the lottery to afford a new high-end machine. Win 11 installed using a USB stick made using Rufus to bypass incompatibility issues. Also onboard is a Fax Modem, which is supported in Windows 10.
