My desk has a shelf with a scanner on it, so not much space for the
monitor (I have thought about sawing off 10cm from the shelf so that
there would be space for a 27" monitor). When I work from home with a
Dell Windows laptop I usually use the hdmi socket. I suppose I could get
a miniDP-DP cable instead.
I don't tend to have big RAM or networking requirements. The main things
are decent speed, recent ISA (esp things like avx512 and preferably on
the metal) and probably a fair number of disks. In the past I've
partitioned disks for OSes but these days I usually have one boot disk
per OS and then a few data disks. Right now I have about 400G of data on
my zfs disks, mostly VBox VM images.
I'll have another think about the ProArt and peruse the TUF Gaming
X670E-Plus.
A+
Paul
