Latitude 5540

(There's no ThinkPad today I would classify in this genre.) If your employ

The only components I'm using are what you see. For a switch, I went with the Mokerlink 2.5gbe managed switch. The UPS is a CyberPower. If the motherboard you're referring to is on the shelf above the PSU, that's a motherboard from a Dell Latitude 5540. I wanted to utilize the laptop motherboards wi

Ended up getting a Dell Latitude 5540 15.6" i7-1370P| 16GB RAM | 512SSD Met every single requirement, found one is near perfect spec for sub $500
