>how are those desktop pc's, square and laid down on the side called? the ones that used to have a monitor on top of them.
desktops
the ones that stand vertical are called towers

That actually makes sense, thanks, will look for a desktop pc even thought i'm never gonna find one like that

>>56466796

towers came later, and people were already used to calling everything desktops, so now towers are usually called desktops as well

Yeah all i can find are towers, Is there any specific good and old model of desktop pc i could look for?

probably the best way is to hook it up in-line with the ATX green wire, then disable ACPI in your OS so it won't attempt to soft-power-off

Usually with workstation it comes up with laptops with the docking station
