What are other great beginner projects for a Computer Engineer
I have built two gaming PCs each with a 6-core AMD FX-8350 clocking in at 4 Ghz, Cooling Master MasterLiquid 240, 12 GB of RAM, 1 TB SSD with one having a EVGA graphics card, and the other with MSI GEFORCE GTX with 6 GB of RAM, all in a ATX motherboard. Building these machines are expensive, and i want to try something new. I heard that machine learning is an excellent route. Any suggestions?

As I understand from your question, you want to learn and try something new in computers.
You referred to your interest in Machine Learning. Now that is a stream that heavily relies on programming, algorithms and moreover mathematics. Machine learning deals with a lot of data collection, analysis and so on.
My recommendation to you would be decide on whether you want to pursue this route. This is not to scare you but to help you understand what and how of it.
You may have a look at a few articles from Google, Amazon on the topics. There are a lot of YouTube videos explaining basics of Machine Learning. I strongly recommend visiting those to get a feel of what it is all about.
All the best !

You may want to look into Raspberry Pi and Arduino. You can build complex project and create cool machines on a fixed budget. I've been playing with Raspberry Pi boxes for a while now and for around $30 you can get one up and running. The Arduino stuff varies as you are wiring breadboards and building out custom builds that do stuff that you program.
