Monarch - the only folks who can tell you if what they're selling you 
will work with Linux

MicroCenter - Usually to hit their sales tables or to get a specific 
piece of hardware you're not going to find at Wal-mart

Prime Computer - pretty good prices, but are very windows focused.

Compusa - When the sales are right.

anyone local
