scavenging sources have dried up completely

Last I looked


which was, admittedly, a few days ago


Google Shopping still has some retailers that have stock and haven't yet jacked their price up. Mostly dinky little companies.

Never heard of these guys, can't vouch for their reputability, but they have 2x32GB of DDR5 for $159.99 listed as being in stock.

EDIT: I would advise, though, that if you plan to get memory in the near future, that you're probably better-off getting it ASAP, since I'm sure that there are going to be scalpers combing over all those small retailers before too long if they haven't gotten to someone yet.

You are an absolute legend and I cannot overstate how much I appreciate this. Unfortunately I am broke as hell and scavenging was not hyperbole. My parts list so far is an intel 11700 from a Dell a hospital was throwing out, a b560 motherboard for ~$40, a friend's old 1080ti, 2tb 2.5" ssd from a dead laptop, pretty nice wood paneled case for another ~$40 (this one was a steal). 16gb ddr4 was expensive to me at ~$40 and I was patiently waiting to either stumble across some or for some money to fall into my lap. At this point it seems like that's increasingly unlikely, but hey! I found 10 bags of bagels and a nice coat yesterday, that's a comeup :)
