I have no idea how easy those are to open, so you may want to look into that before deciding whether to get it with SSD preinstalled vs. upgrading after purchase. Their prices on SSD upgrades are relatively good.
Thanks for all your input. I've never heard of System 76, but I like their features and pricing. There designs aren't that "sexy" but I'm more into function over form. I'll check them out.

Good point on the graphics card. Maybe integrated is the way to go now (I haven't bought a computer in years).

I guess I should have been more specific about how I plan to use. I'll use this box for: 50% web surfing, 30% python/php development, 10% video editing/viewing, 10% other. I run the Debian Edition (all my dev servers are debian also) of Mint with the MATE desktop.
