LOL, ibuypower.com. These guys are in my area. They have a slick web site, but kind of a bad reputation for things breaking and bad repairs/bad service. They are very, very expensive.

Check out NewEgg for ideas:

NewEgg is legit, and look especially at the customer reviews part of each listing. That usually tells you a lot about how the system or the part really works, from people who actually bought it and used it.

No, thats not it. I'm going to have to learn what i'm looking at when somebody presents me with a suggestion.

Every dell I've ever dealt with (medical equipment) has failed. I hate Dell.

Their customer service is terrible and their hardware is unreliable.

That's for the entire system. My new monitor included. So I have $1101 for my actual unit and the rest of it.
