Bro where did you buy ur parts from? SLS? I bought my node 202 @ $114 ):

This board cannot use sata m.2 ssd if im not wrong. You can put sata 2.5" drive in this chassis though. So opt for a 2.5" sata ssd instead.

Windows 10 can get it cheaper from other places like Carousell or Reddit. Buy at your own risk. The one I bought works hence I'm just suggesting only.

Any 120mm case fan will work. Put 2 of them at the gpu chamber. Buy from Carousell for cheap. NZXT FN V2 that taken out of their chassis, Fractal Design GP 12 from Fractal design chassis, Corsair af120, and many more. 2 of those should be around 10-20 bucks depending how cheap you can find. You will need a 4 pin fan header splitter though, which also can be bought from carousell. That should be within 10 bucks can get.

Sent from PM me if you wanna build a DIY PC or wanna learn how to make one yourself using GAGT

Haha, yes. Pls share how to get node 202 @$99.

I bought/buying my parts from lazada, SLS and maybe Qoo10.

Node 2 's lower price is using stanchart credit card discount on lazada

Hi thanks for your suggestions. I was researching and saw that you have built a similar build for a client. Im interested to know more about what you offer.

Can you PM me instead, I dont meet forum requirements to make a PM.

Actually MSI's website gives me the impression that the mobo supports M2 SATA up to 20Gbps. Specs below.

1x 2280 Key M(PCIe Gen2 x 4 on back side), 1x 2242 Key E(for Wi-Fi)

Mine is an old M2 SATA SSD so I thought it's possible.

Nice. How about your gpu? Can share where you bought it? Been looking for a GTX1060 6GB with reasonable price.

 

[joshuaho]

Uh I don't think the MSI h110i supports p841 (it's the normal Sata m.2 right?) though, MSI board only supports NVMe m.2.

Wait a bit more. Crypto mining start sliding now. If you don't mind 2nd hand, can start finding and camping now. I believe ts bought his gtx 1060 earlier before the gpu price fly.

Ya. This is what I remember too. This H110i from MSI doesn't support sata on its m.2.

I bought mine from lazada new when Convergent released some stock there.

I was informed on HWZ forums.FYI, someone is selling his Palit 1060 3gb on Carousell today for
300

That's still quite inflated considering I could have gotten a brand new piece in June for 250
