I will try to eventually save up some money and get one of these when I can start working again. I have a few questions about these machines, though, are they air or liquid cooled? How much room do they take up? Are they any harder to maintain hardware wise than any other machine? I guess they do have sound cards on them. What Linux distribution runs best on one of these? and do they have any problems with any kind of secure boot or whatever the members of these lists have had problems with? Also, if they are wanting to upgrade and will be getting rid of one of those, how much would it cost to just have them ship it over here?
