Why not get tied in with a Regional or National
white box distributor? The one I deal with will
build the system and for $35 include a 3 year depot
warranty. I believe on-site warranties may also
be available. Having the hardware covered, leaves
the software for you to worry about and if a major
component (although none are expensive anymore)
dies, you don't have to bear the replacement cost.
