To buy a PC online

I'm about to buy a new PC.
Two or three years ago, I bought one at internetishop.com, it was a really good deal and the experience in general was great (you could customize your computer almost without limits). But, alas, yesterday I discovered that it has not only disappeared, but left a lot customers without their PCs, and without their money, too!
So, fellow mobilereaders, do you know where to buy a PC online?
I feel attracted to the bright side, but Macs are more expensive than PCs. I'm also very attached to spyware and viruses. LOL.
So, any advice?

Thanks.

PC shopping

If you are looking for a laptop, Emperor Linux does a really good job. The my new laptop from them has been great.

Oh, but you said you liked spyware and viruses. In that case, I'd recommend Dell. I've purchased several laptops from them and never had a problem with any of them.

But for desktop/tower purchases, I usually go local if I am buying a whole system. Usually I assemble one of these myself, buying the components locally and via the internet. Building your own PC means that you don't have to settle for the cheap junk that many places push.

Yeah, that might be the way to go... bundled with BT and WiFi. And a flat monitor...
Still, I check prices on Dell, as rlauzon suggested, to see what they can give me, I'd like to know what's the best PC I can get, and then see if the MiniMac is worthwhile.
