I would prefer to buy it localy, but if i could buy it from a reliable source i may consider buying it online. I am going to be using it as a multimedia machine and I may consider duel booting windows/freebsd. Can someone tell me where i should look, companies i should avoid, features i should look for, etc. My budget is $1400 and below is a list of requirement i have thought of.
