The vast majority of sales are good only when compared with the other deals in that store.
I personally would put together something using newegg.

I don't like the consumer versions of Dell, HP, etc. I like the business class machines -- they're more solid. There's just about zero chance I would buy a computer from Best Buy or any retail store. I used to build my own computers (RE: New Egg), but the cost of new and used business (Optiplex) Dells has changed my view on this. Of course I've never put together a high-end gaming PC (I don't play games), nor do I care if I have cutting edge hardware. Linux does well on older hardware.
