I just went thru a similar excercise, although I bought an AT-compatible rather than a PC. I ended up buying from Computer Direct in TX because a) they offered a 30-day money back guarantee, and b) their phone staff were courteous and seems knowledgeable. The PC/AT was shipped with a slip that says it was tested in the listed config before being shipped (even though I didn't order a complete system from them). The only other mail-order dealer I found that offered the 30-day guarantee was PCs-Limited, but their AT cost 40% more. Good luck. David Kwong homxa!houxj!dck
