Finished this deadly machine for my first painting competition at the end of May. But it won't retire to a shelf after of course, it will become a leading piece for my first army.
I'm very proud of this, and even though I won't expect an award of any kind, I'm excited to show off and meet other painters. The journey to this hobby has been amazing so far, and I'm glad my first army will be Death Guards.
Having too much fun painting, so I decided to share the work in progress on this deadly machine.
I had some parts lying around after my previouis builds, so I decided to buy some used components on ebay auctions and make a living room gaming/media PC. On top of some free and leftover parts I had lying around, I only spent a very measly £65 on this little nugget. Installed Bazzite for OS, and even though it's not a powerhouse it happily runs 200+ games from my steam library. (in my opinion it even turned out to be a rather decent looking machine)

Removed the Thermaltake logo and stuck on the Aorus badge that came with the mobo to complete the look as a little visual mod sticking with the black/orange theme.
