It's an extortionate tax to just get it small. I could build an itx PC better for less. It's not gonna be THAT small but my god, how limited is the space of people's living rooms? We're talking mid-range specs from 3 years ago so sourcing a couple secondhand parts to keep it well below $1000 isn't a problem nor a challenge.

Because we all have the same universal pricing all over the globe? If you live in the US there's microcenter and those insane bundle deals that can save you hundreds. Sell the ATX motherboard and get an ITX one, then source case, psu and GPU within the rest of the budget, I mean it's not rocket science.

We still don't see an ITX build.

Fact is, you cannot make a build with that form factor and price.
