One of these is Fierce PC, a UK-based boutique builder that has begun advertising “No GPU Systems” lacking any sort of discrete graphics option.

Yea I need to take back the caps in my post. I went to the site. Pretty much unless you KNOW to search for Nexus you will have a hard time finding these non video card having PC's. They ARE there but you pretty much have to search for the Nexus name.

So while yes they DO sell chassis without video cards... So does every computer parts shop in the world.

Yea it's kind of odd for a SI to offer an non functioning build. But it isn't the only build they offer by far. Looking at gaming desktops has over 20 pages of complete configurations.
