Got a secondhand mini ITX build recently for ₹72,000.
I was coming from an old MSI laptop with a 6th gen Intel chip and a 940mx. That thing was a toaster—hitting **90°C** constantly and lagging like crazy in this heat. I’d been putting off a new build for a while, but looking at market prices lately, I really wished I'd jumped in sooner. Ended up scouring the local used market and found this.
The guy I bought it from was just using it to print shipping labels for his e-commerce business. He was fed up with Windows and his label printer acting up, so he’s switching to Mac. Since the RAM was still running at the base **4800 MT/s**, it’s a pretty safe bet he wasn't pushing this hardware at all.
Before handing over the cash, I ran **Cinebench, FurMark, and CrystalDiskInfo**. Everything checked out, and the AIO cooler is holding up fine.
### **Gaming & Performance**
I’m mostly into competitive stuff and *Warframe*. The iGPU actually handles those at **1080p/144Hz** surprisingly well. I do want to get into some AAA games eventually, but I know I’ll need a dedicated GPU if I want to stay anywhere near that 144Hz mark.
### **The Specs & Warranty**
Here’s how the warranty situation looks:
* **AMD 8700G:** Covered until Oct 20, 2027.
* **WD SSD:** Covered until Oct 20, 2029.

* **ITX Motherboard:** Covered until Oct 2026.
* **AIO Cooler:** Out of warranty.
* **NR200P Case:** Out of warranty (was ₹7,999 new).
