Graphics card enclosure setups

you typically have to buy the egpu and gpu seperately.

as the egpu itself costs minimum €350 and €150 for even a basic gpu it's not cheap

maybe look to pick up one 2nd-hand

also you don't get 100% of the the gpu power and it's more efficient to run an external monitor than the laptop screen
