Recommendations on where to buy PC's online appreciated.

Probably something along the lines of an I5 with Win7.

No store-bought systems with junk piled on them.

Prefer websites with PC "configurators."

I am already aware of cyberpowerpc and ibuypower (who look to be the same people)

Any other sites you can recommend?

Thanks.

Check out HP business outlet
http://h71016.www7.hp.​com …rice-list#HHO1REFURBISHED (external link) i7 start $527 / plus tax / free ship'g some days (my cybermonday find was for an i7 with free ship for 503!)
Pavilion Elite HPE-310t i7 860 2.8GHz / 6GB / 1TB SATA
DVDRW(LS) / 512MB v. card NIC network / 15-in-1 card reader / W7HP-64

..... for $100 more than an i3, it seems worth it....looks plenty powerful for photoshop....

Hardware specs indicate that the HD is 7200rpm ... I plan on getting a 2nd HD

Site says:

"Our inventory lists are updated daily" and that you have to call 1-888-385-5408 to check for availablility of any listed item...

HP business and home PC outlet opens at 8a.m. central time.

When you open the page (link provided) the listings for mini-notebooks open automatically...

If you're not interested in notebooks, close that window (click the "-" next to "mini-notebooks" )

...and open the product listing you're interested in by clicking the "+" next to it....
THIS i7 LISTING IS UNDER THE HEADING "High performance desktops"

The i7 configurations are listed with i5 machines and other high end quads of the previous generation of Intel machines as well as AMD machines.

i3 machines are listed in VALUE-DESKTOPS with older c2d machines and are typically $100 less...i5 Value DTs are also there $for 50 less

In all categories you can get variations in HDD drives, RAM, DVD drives, video cards, etc....

Click on PROMO PRICE heading to sort by price, and scroll down to the 1st promo price in that column.

Refurbished items are warrantied for 90 days though you can buy an HP Care Pack for another 2 years...price varies with product.
