Not the same newegg anymore, as of ~3yr ago, RIP.  https://www.eteknix.com/newegg-acquired-chinese-company-huge-sum/

I doubt they're going to be out for the same values any longer from the newegg of old.

moin moin,

if you want pre-built, then I recommend looking at ZA Reason and system76.
They'll also pre-install GNU/Linux for you.

I have bought a few systems from ZA Reason. I make a backup in case I need
to look at what they were doing with drivers, then throw on debian or a
variant. That's worked well for me.

I have heard lots of good things about system76.

Newegg has been great for me for years as well. They fight patent trolls
and win.

NUC looks intersting, but I haven't yet played with one. For other similar
stuff, I've done what Aaron suggested in buying a bare bones system, then
adding RAM and storage. That has worked quite well for me.

ciao,
