Dell may not be the cheapest, but if you get on their email list, there are some deals to be had. Be sure to shop your preferred configuration in more than one Dell "department". Often the same computer is a different price in the Home/Home Office than in the Small/Medium Business stores. In particular, certain components may be priced very differently.

Caution: Buy online only. Their telephone sales people are not to be trusted. In fact, they remind me of some of those Brooklyn camera stores. I suspect they get commission bonuses for unloading old stuff and overselling. I'm an independent IT consultant, and I have too many times been called to setup a computer bought from an online Dell salesperson, and found that the person bought $500 or more too much computer (high-end graphic cards, etc. for data entry clerks, and so on.)
