This desktop is plain Dell inspiron 660s. I grabbed a linux CD (fedora or OpenSuse, i forget), and blew away Windows 8. I was searching for Windows 7 for dual-boot purposes, but they pre-loaded Windows 8 at that time. The search string you are looking for is something like: "Legacy mode with secure boot disabled". Try this at your own risk.
