| 9 | RAM upgrade: 3× 16 GB DDR4-2133 RDIMM 2Rx4, same listing as row 4 (64 GB total) | eBay [128107030440](https://www.ebay.de/itm/128107030440) | €141.19 |
| 10 | Tower case (used) | Stadtreinigung "refurbished junk" store | ~€20 (estimate) |
| 11 | GPU air duct, 3D-printed, own design ([shroud/](../shroud/)) | printed at home | filament only |
| | **Total** | | **≈ €622.62** |

- **Case:** bought with an old PC still inside, a while ago. Its share of the price can't be
  separated, so ~€20 is an estimate for a case like it.
- **Not used:** the Goobay EPS extension (€5.19, [336804566105](https://www.ebay.de/itm/336804566105)),
  ordered for a homemade power adapter. The cards came with their own Y-adapters
  ([hardware notes](hardware-notes.md#y-adapters-that-came-with-the-cards)).

## Still needed (not in the budget)

- [ ] Filament for the shroud (PETG or ASA)
- [ ] 4× M4 × 45 bolts + nuts (fan → shroud flange)
- [ ] 1–2 mm foam tape (sleeve seal)
- [ ] Multimeter (to check the power adapters)
- [ ] Thermal paste (if the cooler doesn't ship with any)
- [ ] C13 power cord, USB stick (Ubuntu installer), VGA monitor or BMC/KVM access

## Caveats noted at purchase time

- **SSD:** SATA. The board's M.2 slot is 2242 SATA-only, so M.2 is no faster.
- **PSU:** comes without accessories; supply your own C13 power cord.
