Have one I wouldn't recommend. ASA Computers.  Ordered from them 'cause
I saw their ad in in LJ.  Built linux ready boxen.  5 day delivery, I
gave 'em a day or so extra 'cause where I live.  2 weeks!  It arrived
short modem, took couple weeks more.  The MB isn't really Linux
friendly.

One thing I will say for them, they were super polite and acted very
uppset and apologetic for the delays.  Yes, they got my $$ first.
