Now I looked around and we know the new Dells come with Ubuntu as an option but did you know the old Dells run linux. Now not for just a home computer. Now I was on Amazon and I cannot afford the electricity and with garbage level home computers running $1000 sometimes then if you want power go to amazon ebay or other site that sell and type in used renew dell workstation. I wanted one 48gb ram dual xeon and it was like over $5000 new but under 500 used but the xeons if used as my home pc that is on 18 hrs a day would run the electric bill up $100 a month and if you run a website are compiling or encoding or run blender a dual xeon with a ton of ram with Linux would cut your time in a 1/3 of what it takes with a regular home system. These cases they're in are like the old cases you don't see around anymore you can kick and they don't fall apart and the power supplies are top end and over 500 watts. Hell buying one or more and reselling to an area business with the windows10 installed in many of them and others with no OS would be profitable for a place that uses blender or other programs that are pushing a normal system or even a company that want's to use it as a server or if you have a family you can use it to be your own home server or even a mirror for Linux or whatever you want to distribute with a great internet connection. Just want to pass this find on so anyone that needs a new system can have a chance to buy something that might last 10 years and run like a racecar with the integrity of a tank.

I see similar systems sold for around 200-250 with 8gb of ram, they come with a quadro card so not a bad option for this kind of thing though power consumption is not optimal.
