According to Duann, PC makers have to buy from SSD module makers because NAND vendors reduced allocation to the client/consumer PC market and redirected most NAND supply to data center products.

As a result, PC OEMs like Acer, Asus, Dell, and HP cannot get enough NAND or SSD supply directly from NAND manufacturers and have to turn to module makers for solid-state drives. The latter traditionally served end-users and had plenty of aftermarket products with enhanced performance and cooling, but now they increasingly serve PC makers instead.

    I only expect a flooded market with HDDs/SSDs.
    CPUs will be worthless to regular conaumers, same with ram as it’s probably specific and registered dram (which would require a workstation board that is pricey)
    GPUs will also be worthless without the drivers and platform to drive them.
