if you want pre-built, then I recommend looking at ZA Reason and system76.<br>
They'll also pre-install GNU/Linux for you.<br>
<br>
I have bought a few systems from ZA Reason. I make a backup in case I need<br>
to look at what they were doing with drivers, then throw on debian or a<br>
variant. That's worked well for me.<br>
<br>
I have heard lots of good things about system76.<br>
<br>
Newegg has been great for me for years as well. They fight patent trolls<br>
and win.<br>
<br>
NUC looks intersting, but I haven't yet played with one. For other similar<br>
stuff, I've done what Aaron suggested in buying a bare bones system, then<br>
adding RAM and storage. That has worked quite well for me.<br>
<br>
ciao,<br>
