I used to get my computers from ebuyer, just like you're now doing,
until I discovered that you could only ever have one hard drive in!
There was just never the connections for more hard drives on the
motherboards, and it was that fact that led me to PCSpecialists.

PCSpecialists didn't have any concerns when I said that I wanted a
machine with no OS as I was going to install debian 8 on it, which is
what I've done.
