Melvin Tan joins us again to talk about something that sounds super technical but is actually pretty exciting—building your own AI-powered PC. He shares how he went from not knowing much about tech to putting together machines that can run chatbots, train models, and handle serious creative work. We get into what kind of gear you need, how much it might cost, and why GPUs are the key to making it all work.

Melvin also gives us a peek into what’s trending after Computex 2025 and why more people are starting to explore DIY AI setups at home. If you’ve ever wondered whether you could build your own AI rig, this episode is a great place to start.
