Cody,
Your in Florida, one of the best places this side of california for cheap components marked for export. Go for the gold and make your own machine. You get to maintain controll over every component and learn a skill we should all know.
An example of what i'm on right now:
Athlon 1.7
80gb maxtor
msi kt3 ultra aru motherboard
internal zip
sony dvd drive
ati 7600 agp
My total cost for self built (including shipping): 600.00.
My point is you pay half of your money for asssembly. I assembled this machine from tiger direct, pricewatch, and several reputable wholesalers around miami international airport and still had money for a new monitor and extra drive.
If you insist on someone else making the machine, give Systemax a call in miami, they'll even let you come in and pick the components off the palets. (Systemax is the holding company of tiger direct and the maker of really cheesy late night commercial for full disclosure).
Good luck, and if you want the names of local wholsalers from the Keys through Broward, PM me and i'll send you several names i've worked with in the past.
HTH
