I second the Intrex recommendation.

I purchased all of the components to build a Linux box there last year. The
prices were competitive and the sales help (in Durham) was great.

I also just got them to give me prices on some pre-built boxes for us to use
for testing, they seemed pretty good. It would cost me almost as much to
build them myself.

If your husband has any desire at all to build a system from scratch I
highly recommend the experience. ;-)

I came across this when I was looking for cheap boxes. If you really want to
keep the cost cost down and don't mind installing a few things yourself you
might want to look into it:

Seems the motherboards are the weak link in these systems but the guy has
good feedback and also sells them direct at:

Just to clarify - I have no experience with computers built by this person.
If I were buying a new computer I'd spend a bit more and go with Intrex:
