Sherrill,

I bought mine from ubid.com and was happy. I think you can save a
couple hundred $ going that route. Most of these deals don't come
with an operating system, so you need to have a Win98 or Win2000 or
linux CD handy when it arrives.
I recommend to test everything right away, especially things that
are built into the motherboard (modem, NIC, sound system, audio
input, USB). By the time I got around to hooking my machine up to
a network, I found out the built-in ethernet on the motherboard
was flakey, and it was too late to return to Ubid. No big deal, a
PCI-bus NIC costs only $15, but it used up one of my two PCI slots.
This is also no big deal unless you have plans for both PCI slots.
