From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Used dell workstation. If you need a GPU you can swap out the power supply with the help of an adapter.
+1 for the workstation. Using one rn and have been for 3-4 years. Never knew there were adapters for the psu... never needed one for my 1070.
I did have to cut a hole in the door panel so the gpu would fit though.
Also my tower has built in handles which is real dandy for hanging cables off of.
Yeah my GPU pulls way more power than the pcie slot can provide.
