I have to post this because my machine couldn't send directly
to gargoyle!sphinx!tod4.
I just went thru a similar excercise, although I bought an
AT-compatible rather than a PC.
I ended up buying from Computer Direct in TX because
a) they offered a 30-day money back guarantee, and
b) their phone staff were courteous and seems knowledgeable.
The PC/AT was shipped with a slip that says it was tested
in the listed config before being shipped (even though I
didn't order a complete system from them).

The only other mail-order dealer I found that offered the
30-day guarantee was PCs-Limited, but their AT cost 40% more.
Good luck.
