If you're really serious about buying a PC-class computer mail order, pick
up a copy of _Computer Shopper_ magazine.  They run about 700 pages 11x17
pages each month, and are about 50% ads.  While you're poking around in
there, look at Blue Dolphin Computers.  I haven't talked to anyone who's
bought from them, but their prices are pretty good.  Also Insight, which is
the new CPU-hardware side of Hard Drives International, as good a mail order
company as you will find (IMHO).
