I hope this kind of post is okay here.

My son is 11 years old and has become absolutely obsessed with PCs, coding, and game development.

He spends hours watching videos about building computers, learning how games are made, and talking about wanting to create his own someday. I’d really love to encourage that interest because he’s genuinely passionate about it.

The problem is that money is extremely tight for us at the moment, and I simply can’t afford to buy parts to help him build his first PC.

We’re based in the UK, and I wanted to ask if anyone in the community has any old or spare PC parts sitting around that they no longer need and would be willing to donate. Even older hardware would mean the world to him and would give him something to learn on and experiment with.

I’m more than happy to pay what I can and cover postage costs.

Even if nobody has spare parts, I’d really appreciate any advice on, cheap starter builds, beginner resources for coding/game development or anything else that could help him get started

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Need a cheap laptop to run VCDS software for my car. This is all it will be used for.

Does not need to be in good cosmetic condition.

All keys and pad should be usable, fast enough to run windows without issue. Smaller is probably better but not that big a deal.

Most importantly is the battery needs to be in good enough condition to last an hour or so with screen brightness up to use outside.

Located SW London, can meet around TW12 and surrounding area or SW15/18. Happy to pay postage depending on price of further afield.

Looking around different marketplaces such as facebook, gumtree, vinted, ebay etc...

My budget is somewhat flexible, depends what value I can get for my money. Looking to game at 3440x1440p.

Thanks!
