newegg.com and building it yourself.  In some ways you can't beat the
prices of Dell/HP/Lenovo machines because they have great buying
power, but building it yourself is a great way to learn tradeoffs and
get exactly what you want.  

Personally, lots of memory, low end graphics since I don't game much,
basic audio and plenty of CPU.  Voila, instant machine.  Oh yeah, a
pair of nice disks to mirror across and possibly an SSD if you reboot
alot or need screaming performance.

If you want to go the Dell route, I've had good luck on the Dell
Outlet site in the past, lots of decent deals on systems returned for
one reason or another.
