Avoid DIT.

For components, newegg.com.

For pretty nifty pre-assembled machines, Dell.  They use quality parts, 
and a comparable hand-assembled "white box" with parts of similar 
quality and a legal version XP Home will cost darn near the same.  Their 
factory refurbished machines are hard to beat - a few days ago I got in 
(for a co-worker) a 2.2 Celeron, 128MB ram, 80GB HD, a 48X CD-ROM, a 48X 
CD-RW, legal versions of XP Home and Office XP for $430+shipping.
