I'm looking for recommendations on local (Worcester to Natick, Westboro to Leominster, etc.) Linux-centric PC companies to buy an Athlon PC. If they only sell Windows systems I'll take those recommendations too if it's a build to order site.
Why not put it together yourself? Figure out what you want in terms of horsepower and order the stuff. $500 or so ought to get you a respectable system: 1000+ MHz Athlon 128 MB RAM 20 GB HDD Asus MLB Nvidia graphics Cab with 300 Watt PS Good heat sink for the CPU I purchased most of my stuff from www.puicorp.com in Houston, although you certainly can get deals if you're willing to settle for something in the 700 MHz range. Check www.pricewatch.com for sources and prices. I recently upgraded my 300 MHz box to a 1200 MHz system. Under RedHat Linux 7.1 it detected the new audio, video and everything came up just fine without even needing a reboot! That's goodness! --Skip
