    This looks like a Basic Bitch® office workstation. Surely you could put the same graphics card in a price-comparable gaming rig without having to resort to this…

      A basic bitch office workstation is like $20 at a garage sale to $150 from a refurb shop with a Windows license. Cutting the case is twenty minutes for template and cut.

      Nothing fiscally competes with these.

      Most likely. I “reassigned” an old work Dell Optiplex to play about with Linux a few years back, and it didn’t like whatever onboard graphics chipset was on the board. I bought an inexpensive GeForce card… not realising that it would end up looking like this bad boi, and that I had to buy a low-profile card.
