What distinguishes a workstation from a desktop?
- HKH2 5y agoDo I have to call my desktop a funstation now?
- 411111111111111 5y agoThey're often called Battle-Station. Somehow I feel a fun station to be slightly more naughty, but I guess that's just my mind ;)

- bufferoverflow 5y agoI once bought a workstation for a great price, wanted to make a good gaming PC. I discovered that the case didn't fit dedicated GPUs, except the short form factor ones. I ended up cutting some metal bays out with a metal saw to fit my GPU in. Workstations are also often sold with ECC RAM.
