We've bought from AnDATAco as well and were quite happy.  Yet another  
company to check out (prices about the same as anDATAco's, perhaps  
slightly better warranty conditions) is Falcon Systems.  1-800-326-1002,  
talk to Jenna Lim, who's quite helpful (and funny to boot!).  I have no  
connections to either anDATAco or Falcon except as a (highly) satisfied  
customer of both.
