Ok the person I purchased this from didn’t know the specs. I purchased it for $80 and booted up Linux Mint from a USB thumb drive. Here, I was able to confirm the specs.
The computer currently doesn’t have an internal drive.
It’s a 2010 model Mac Pro
CPU: Quad core Intel Xenon 3.2 GHz
GPU: Radeon HD 5770 1 GB
RAM: 32 GB DDR3
This is perfect! All it needs now is a decent internal drive and maybe a newer Radeon card thrown in and I’m set! :pixelfire:

@Oregon_Pacifist@retro-gaiden.com I bought a surplus one like this from a university and upgraded it to damn near max. One thing to watch out for, especially on Linux, is the fan profiles let stuff get really hot. There's a ton of excellent resources out there to help you max it out. Good luck and have fun!
