Not willing to let scalpers take advantage of friends and other people seeking to buy a Nintendo Switch, Imgur user sarbaaz37 took on the task of creating a comprehensive guide that teaches people how to purchase and then assemble the parts needed in order to create their own Switch consoles.
In the post, sarbaaz37 explains the situation that led to the DIY project, offers a list of parts that need to be purchased online, and shares detailed, step-by-step instructions for how to put the system together. The total cost of the parts comes to about $200, which is drastically less than the current prices attached to Switch consoles from venues such as eBay.
With the availability of the Switch from retailers being low and the price of after-market units being unreasonably high, this self-assembled strategy might be the perfect method for some people looking to get their hands on one. Plus, the work that it takes to build the console comes with the added benefits of being a way to both pass the time and make their Switch into a personal and handcrafted item.
