My roommate bought a 386/SX from PC Warehouse in Rockville.  Awful workmanship,
no returns accepted, it didn't work quite right when he got it, and their
prices weren't too good.  (His father bought it on impulse, w/o researching
the place.  :(  )

Personally, I like Socrates in Rockville - not the best prices, but a high
level of service and workmanship.  Also, another friend of mine got a Tag
system in VA... he likes it.

But... why are you wasting money on a PC????  Buy a NeXT!!!  From DPC
or Bethesda Computers...  Even better, if you qualify for edu discount,
get it from U-MD's Computer Emporium.  

Note: I'm not affiliated with any of the companies mentioned above...
