This looks pretty hilarious, but if you bought one of the Core i3-9100F processors for ~$100 and want a stupidly cheap motherboard for it, here you go.

Yes, it's called a "Mining" motherboard. No, you don't have to mine with it. It has a meme-worthy 17 PCIe 2.0 x1 slots, but it also has everything you'd need for a normal gaming PC: a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, 2 DIMM slots, a decent handful of SATA and USB connections, and a surprisingly good networking solution too.

I am making an informed guess that you don't have to actually plug in all the extra power cables to get a boot out of this, if all you're installing is a single GPU (rather than more than a dozen via riser cables) but please don't blame me if you buy this and I'm wrong!

Anyhoo, it's less than $50, so just buy a case with solid side panel and forget all about it ;-)

Looking forward to the comment section…

  Sad it doesn't have an M.2 slot, nonetheless it's an amazing deal.

    Just buy 17 PCIe to M.2 adaptors.

      How many lanes are actually available though? If you use up your lanes, then you won't be able to get the full potential performance out of M.2 drives or even get any use out of the PCIE slots….plus I thought M.2 drive uses 4 lanes, no? So you need to hook 4 of those x1 lanes together to get the 4x throughput required…. which means you really only have 4 potential M.2 drives since 16 divide 4 is 4….excluding the full 16 lane one used for your primary graphics card….
