Companies, and individuals, make their living by custom building
PCs and selling them on eBay. So check eBay out if you haven't
already.
Custom building it would be even cheaper, but you won't have
to worry about the hassle if you order it already built, and wouldnt
have to worry about messing up etc.
I am setting up a client who is doing this exact thing. Here is some photography of their product. A rip off of an Apple Cube, but if you have to use a PC this is the way to go.
I will be happy to hook you up if you want more info.
My experience may not be as extensive as yours (if that is what you're implying), but I have owned one (still do), and, in addition, have been using two others for the past 3 years. They have all been solid machines thus far.
Check out their merchant rating and some of the horror stories on pricegrabber before spending too much time there. I bought from a company called McGlen, who strangly answered their phone as access micro. Seems they have a few store fronts, but all the same company. Anyways, six months after ordering something, never getting it, and cancelling the order, they plopped a charge on my credit card. I called and they "fixed" it by adding a credit and another charge! It took 4 phone calls to finally get the second charge removed. Each time I was promised it would be taken care of. Way too much hassle when there are much better venders out there.
