[wplug] non dell system builders

[Patrick Wagstrom]

I'm helping to order some machines for some research here at CMU.  Dell 
came back with a pretty outrageous quote, mainly because they don't have 
a rackmount case that can fit the drives we'd like, so they need to sell 
us an external storage enclosure, which really jacks up the price of the 
systems.  Does anyone have good experience with any non-dell system 
builders?  Ideally it would be someplace like what Monarch Computer used 
to be, where you can go online, select your cpu, hard drives, raid, etc 
and get a nice little web quote.

The key element is that they have some sort of support we can get for 
the machine if it breaks.

Any suggestions of good people, either local or otherwise?
