don't buy from ibuypower or cyberpowerpc. Both are infamous for sending DOA unit and basically never getting them working for you.

Check out their reselleratings page or BBB page.

Also, never skimp on the PSU. Most of these cheap boutiques use no name junk that has a 50/50 chance of frying and taking out the rest of your expensive components within a month.

If you have to go boutique, cheap and good, use AVAdirect if you use their custom desktop builder (not gaming one).

Other good ones are Maingear, Puget systems and Digital Storm
