  I'd like to buy a barebones (PSU, CPU, single Disk, graphics card, etc), for
a linux box.  Can someone suggest a good place to buy good HW?

Tigerdirect seems to have one of the largest selections

I normally order stuff fromj New Egg.

Even though I think New Egg is a better company
I have ordered plenty of stuff from Tigerdirect with generally no problems

For this purpose (as for WinXP) I would choose a refurbished IBM 8113,
now widely available (from www.auctiondepot.com for approx. $50 plus
shipping, from www.factorydirect.ca for $119 just now.)  They are usually
3 or 3.2 GHz Pentium 4 CPU with 1 Gb RAM (but may be less.)

One of my five local computer shops is very good for this. Looks for the
parts list and prices near the door way for a hint. Otherwise, web
search for a few and you should fine thousands of online sellers.

Do you think eBay sellers are legit?
