Purchase write offs

Hi, I work in tech as a web developer and during Black Friday I purchased a bunch of parts to make a server. But it states that purchases need to be $200 or more. Do I calculate the price for the entire server or still list all purchases even though some are only $70.

Needs to be $200 or more to depreciate. You can list each part separately and those expenses are all legitimate (no expense is too small) or you can list a bundle of all of the expenses called "Parts to build a server" or something like that and then you can depreciate it over time.
