Where is the best play to buy a built system?

[Rcoops]

Obviously Dell and gateway are overpriced. Does anyone have any ideas? I need a Pre-built PC (ex AMD 1.2g ddr) by July 12th and I do not have the time to buy it piece by piece from MWAVE etc... and build it from scratch like I usally do.

Any thoughts would help

Alienware is good if you like crappy customer service and pre-fried motherboards and 2 months of waiting before they finally send you a new motherboard. :|

If you think dell and gateway are overpriced, then you shouldn't even consider Alienware.....

I've had good luck with Monarch Computers putting together mobo/chip/hs. Prices aren't ideal for everything but not too bad in general.

Microexpress.net, as recommended by PC World. Page 170 of the July 2001 issue has a little excerpt on how to get the best prices from Microexpress.
