      Is there a price cap you won't go beyond?

          It was a deal like this, but better. And in store I believe the deals are better...

          Not sure if you have a Microcenter around...

              Obviously you'd format the SSD and install Fedora.

                Video requirements?

                Display 2 monitors at native resolution. This is work not gaming.

                Price?

                Not really relevant. I expect to spend under $1000 with 2 monitors. maybe $1500, but I do not have a budget.

                  All that and only 16 GB of RAM.

                    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.

                      Hey I matched his specifications nothing wrong with build it yourself but he doesn't want to go that route.

                        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.

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

                                          I would never buy anything from that company.
