Kids Gaming PCs [carl & megatron]

With the passing of my Mum in 2025, I promised the kids that "Granny would buy them each a gaming PC." Unfortunately, the AI bubble caused prices of GPUs, RAM and Flash to sky-rocket, so these ended up costing a bit more than when I'd originally scoped them out.

Hopefully this spec should last them a good number of years!

To save any arguments, they are basically each the same specification, but one is white [carl] and one is black [megatron].

Also unfortunately, since the kids games of choice are primarily on Windows, these are Windows only PCs (boo - no Linux).
