Man builds a Switch for $200 by piecing together its components

Take that, resellers!

Having trouble finding a Switch in stock? No worries, you can just build your own! All you have to do is source pieces from Chinese markets, and have a ton of technical know-how and patience!

When one of Sarbaaz37's friends wanted a Switch but couldn't find one in stock, Sarbaaz37 decided to track down the spare pieces/parts needed to build a Switch. After searching through Chinese auctions to find everything needed, Sarbaaz37 managed to build a working Switch for $200. Sarbaaz37 sees this as a win in a few ways, as his Switch is cheaper than what Nintendo sells, and it also means a reseller didn't get to gouge one more customer.

If you want to see the ridiculously detailed process of building a Switch from spare parts, you can get the full rundown in the gallery below.
