Shortages at TSMC and demand in excess of what they can make means there are no extra and no cheap parts. Parts will stay that way until TSMC catches up in 1 or 2 years.  "semiconductor manufacturers are working through a backlog of orders as they struggle to alleviate worldwide chip shortages" A fire-damaged NEC Renesas factory that supplies many of the auto industry's computer chips is also not back up to 100 percent output. Renesas fire and a worldwide shortage of computer chips have wreaked havoc on auto industry production schedules. Everything that uses chips including memory and processors and chip-sets etc is in short supply. Even the third quarter improved output from TSMC and other chip foundries, won’t be enough to fill the backlog. Even from October through December, the computer / auto industry still won’t have enough chips.  The problem affects all vendors including Apple, Dell, HP,  INTEL, AMD, NVIDIA etc. There are complete R12's for sale with the GPU stripped out. If you plan doing this only buy system with 1000W power supply or you will regret it.  Do Buy it now with credit card using guest account (you may need a new email address if you dont have more than 1) so they don't mess up your ebay account.

So is Alienware Aurora R12 motherboards cheap? Or top of the line motherboards with high quality? Third question: Is the ram good on Alienware Aurora R12 3200MHz version, cl timings etc.?  Fourth question: is the 2TB SSD read and write speeds slow?
Aurora R12, motherboard, value
