Either build your own PC, buy a custom box from a local retailer (preferably not a stampout box from Sears, Circuit City, KMart, or other major chain...), or buy a PowerMac. AlienWare and Dell servers are overpriced even though the quality is up there, Sony, Micron, and other 'mainstream' manufacturers are dealing with help-desk ooutsourcing problems, eMachines is still trying to get the quality up, and HP, Compaq, Packard-Bell, and Dell bargan-box machines are lame.
