[olug] Advice on a white box builder

[bbrush at unlnotes.unl.edu]

JMO, but for a business go with someplace reputable.  I won't recommend any
place here in Lincoln.  I can say that I've dealt with Dell for everything
from laptops to servers and they're very good to work with.  Just don't try
to buy a SAN from them as the EMC guys will try to fleece you.  If I had to
pick someone local to build me computers it would probably be Ken at
Infolinc here in Lincoln.  He's been building them for about 10 years and
he's still around.

Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't put a white box into a business unless I
owned the business and I made that choice, or there literally wasn't any
choice from a cost perspective.  I.e. the entry level from <insert computer
mfg name> is more than I need and can afford.  Which I admit could be the
case as Dell keeps their entry level around the $800-$1000 range.

I'm looking for input on a white box builder.  Can be either local or
online.  I need to replace some PCs at work and don't want to fork out
what the majors are asking.

Thanks,
Jeff
