I've had real good luck with Best buy for the last couple of years usually buy online with free shipping. Good service after the sale both online and in store.
bought a couple of Hp desktops and a gateway laptop from them.
I buy online so I don't have to wait in line and deal with the teenage salesman at the store, they usually don't know any more than I do but they are convinced they do.

check out outpost.com
this is Fry's Electronics on line store. Fry's has about 5 or 6 huge stores around our area and also in a few other states. I have known Randy Fry since he worked in his dad's Grocery stores here in San Jose.
They have the biggest, and most competative inventory in our area of several million people.

I've bought computers in the past from CompUSA, Best Buy and Circuit City, I've had positive experiences with all 3 retailers. I usually shop for the best price and each time I was ready to buy a different retailer had the best deal. A few weeks ago I purchased a Dell laptop from Dell on line. They had a great one day sale. $699 for a Wide Screen, Dual Core Pentium, 80 gig hd, 1 gig RAM with DVD burner. So far the Dell experience has been positive.

Donny,

Dell offers one hell of a deal with desktops, but keep in mind when you do need customer service, you'll likely be talking with a guy in India who doesn't under a word of North Jersey.

Donny,

I don't know if I'm too late or not. You seem to have a quick trigger on the wallet ;-)

But, I've had tremendous success with Dell and in particular their line of refurbished PC's. I have 5 in my house right now and not a problem with any of them. The price/performance of these pc's are better than most other brands/outlets.

Check out this deal with flat panel monitor: http://www1.ca.dell.com/content/products...SDT1&l=en&s=bsd

of course you can add/subtract features to meet your budget.

Hope this helps...
