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.

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.

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. . .

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. . .
