[BG] Dad trying to help my 11 year old son build his first his first pc so he can get into coding and gaming development [H] £100-150
I hope this kind of post is okay here.
My son is 11 years old and has become absolutely obsessed with PCs, coding, and game development.
He spends hours watching videos about building computers, learning how games are made, and talking about wanting to create his own someday. I’d really love to encourage that interest because he’s genuinely passionate about it.
The problem is that money is extremely tight for us at the moment, and I simply can’t afford to buy parts to help him build his first PC.
We’re based in the UK, and I wanted to ask if anyone in the community has any old or spare PC parts sitting around that they no longer need and would be willing to donate. Even older hardware would mean the world to him and would give him something to learn on and experiment with.
I’m more than happy to pay what I can and cover postage costs.
Even if nobody has spare parts, I’d really appreciate any advice on, cheap starter builds, beginner resources for coding/game development or anything else that could help him get started
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
