I wanted to solicit advice on buying a PC.  I am thinking about a Pentium 
>=90 Mhz;  16 MB Ram;  >= 1.6 GB IDE; 4X CD ROM; 28.8 Modem; >= 15" SVGA.

I have seen some good deals at:

1)  Dell Factory Outlet for "refurbished" PCs

2)  Several small retail/assembly hacker-type shops in the Austin area

From what I can see, I could save anywhere from 20 - 35% off of buying 
from the big franchise superstores and/or mailorder.  Do people have 
opinions on this???  The level of PC knowledge seems higher at the small 
shops compared to the big franchises as well....

Thanks in advance!
