Google for a side by side image of the older plastic and even metal terminator kits. It’s grown substantially

Usually I go for a nice loaf of sourdough to pain my minis.

But to paint my minis I use army painter and uses for base coating, artis opus dry brushes, and monument hobbies kalinski sable brushes for layering, edge highlighting and blending.

Good old toothbrushes are good for blood splattering.

I paid for and don’t regret Plex pass so I could access PlexAmp. It’s quite nice. Will it be worth the price for others? I’m not sure.

To just get started I’d take a trip to your local thrift store. Some decent old PC tower and a large harddrive is more than enough to get started, play around and get it working. Opt for an intel CPU with “quicksync” if you can as it will do hardware trans coding without a dedicated GPU (like I have).

Its about 200W. So about as much as a mid-range gaming PC while playing a 3D game. And that’s including all the networking devices and PoE delivery.

frick… I cant find the item name at the moment. I do recall though when i sourced it I was looking for a dust resistant cabinet. so their are no grills anywhere except at the top and bottom for 120mm fans. I installed filtered fans to hopefully keep dust to a minimum. If I remember I’ll snipe the brand-name later.

by power optimization I assume you mean like overclock tuning on the mother boards and adjusting sleep schedules, HDD sleep timing and the like? I admit I haven’t done much of that. just stock power and sleep settings.
