After returning 3 computers to CompUSA and a whole lot of learning as to why they did not work when the salespeople said it would, I have had a good experince with ASA Computers. http://www.asacomputers.com/ I had minor problems with them that they responed to by email and voice very promptly. They seem to be very resonably priced. If you have an idea of what kind of performance you want and budget, they can probably flesh things out. Just make sure you get a video card in a slot. I would definatly buy from them again. Jeff ps. while getting back a $200 open box fee, I was talking to the CompUSA store manager and he asked me what kind of program UNIX was.
