Buy a copy of Computer Shopper.  There are numberless ads for
these machines.  I have done business with May Computers.  They
are cheap and their computers work.  Advice after the sale from
these places can be spotty due to low budgets and sometimes
language barriers.  Places like JDR are a little more expensive,
but are very customer oriented, and have 800 numbers for
technical advice, good return policies, etc.

If you don't know just what you want, I would suggest a larger
outfit.  If you know, you can save a lot of money by picking
carefully from the discount dealers.
