I go to CompUSA for most local purchases, when I must, and usually when they have a killer promotion. But, I purchase on-line as much as I can (buy.com & tigerdirect.com usually). I will likely not be building any of my own PCs and Servers any longer, other than replacing a MB and internals on a nice system I built 4 years ago, and the MB capacitors went "pop" the other month. I have a client who had a terrific run with Dell machines. I ended up getting one of their Servers (420), then another, then another. For Lynda I got a Dell workstation instead of building a faster replacement for her. So far, after 3 years of buying Dells, I am pretty impressed (no flame mail, please <g>). But it seems Dell runs hot & cold with many folks. Maybe I have just gotten lucky thus far.
