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).
