That price is a bit nutty. An old, free OS. Laptop level RAM. Nothing special on the GPU, only on pay with my two year old laptop. A slow, small SATA drive. It's a nice CPU, but one gen old. The price makes no sense at all.
I agree, but it's there, I can't think of the other "linux builder" that I saw a while back. . .

With the Intel NUC does anyone know if Fedora works well there?
I would miss my 4TB 3.5" SATA drive, but I can buy a large 2.5" drive.
@scottalanmiller what about those HP boxes you linked. Any idea how well Fedora supports the hardware?

No idea, I've never tried on those. I've never used those at all, they just look really nice.

I have HP Envy laptops running Fedora 26 perfectly. But that doesn't tell us very much.

Why not something from supermicro?
-
Something in their gaming line likely hits all of the points you need.

They do, that is why I am curious.

ThinkMate assembles these (and more options)

I'm a fan of CyberPowerPC https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/ and AMD Ryzen CPUs are the price/performance champ at the moment.

@jaredbusch Can you tell us what price range you're looking to spend?

Here is another option

He mentioned somewhere up there he was looking for under 1k.

I'd be happier with a laptop and a dual monitor USBC/3 dock. There's some cheap i5 linux laptops that'll do Linux and dock.

Ah so he did, buried it was.

Linux and cock is a useful feature

Hell I'd just assemble it myself if it were me, half the cost is damned assembly and warranty.... but warranty is worth it. . .

It will live on in my quoted reply though...

Under a grand though is very very cheap. . . my last desktop (and I was scrimping) was $700, that's with reusing some parts, Power supply and GPU. . .
