Hi Everyone,
This is my First proper scratch build and my first project log here so please be gentle!
As an outline for my project, the goal was to create an aesthetically pleasing minimalistic PC to use as my main photo editing computer. I love clean lines and some of the build on here are really inspiring so will do my best for cable management and a little artistic flare.
I love my motorsports so really want it to look like some of the show cars that i take so many pictures of.
I currently use a 15inch Late '11 Macbook Pro and due to an unfortunate incident with the UK weather it got wet and the macbook won't run off battery
Anyways. Back to the build.....
My plans are constantly changing so bear with me! all will be revealed as i buy stuff...
