Highly recommend Tripplite

I got me one of these used (with good batteries) for $100

They have an external connector in the back for adding external batteries and the menu to do so is analog.

I added a golf cart battery to mine tripping the capacity for very very cheap.

Look in the used market.

If you want something better, Eaton is the go to, look for used deals in marketplace / craigslist. I found someone selling Used industrial Eaton UPSs with extended batteries for 150$ the set

yessss!!! that was EXACTLY what I was thinking. You just unlocked a core childhood memory

I’m not complaining, I’m glad it exists.

It’s just a Simpsons MacGyver reference. Or maybe it was Futurama? I can’t remember

Using only this computer and some plastic parts, I can make a fully working computer.

is anyone asking for this???

Motherboards are all about I/O and connectivity.

Personally, I do the exact same thing (I’m still Running an MSI B350M with a 5900X) but I can understand people that pay a couple hundred bucks to have extra ports / slots or built in wifi or whatever …

$1000 for a motherboard tho … that’s ridiculous. What could possibly be worth 1000$?
