        Something in their gaming line likely hits all of the points you need.

          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.

          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.

                CyberPower

                I would never buy anything from that company.

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

                        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.

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

                                    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. . .

                                        The biggest black video card you could imagine.

                                            This has USB 3.1 C with thunderbolt, so it will dock well, this may be a nice option. Sit it down on your desk, plug it USB C, enjoy it on your two external displays. Nice thing about usbc with thunderbolt, is it charges the thing too... so you only ever have to worry about one cord.

                                            It's a 13", so it will travel nice.

                                            At less than $1200, there's room for better configuration if you want.

                                            If I had the money and needed something new, I'd go this route for sure.

                                            You'll just need to get your own SATA drive for it.
