[Gllug] recommendations for retailers of OS free or linux installed desktop boxes?

I'd also highly recommend Novatech. I think the mark of a good retailer is a
good returns system. I've ordered many things from them in the past 10
years, but once had to send back a new PC because of a fault. Despite
ordering a system without an OS and installing Fedora on it rather than
Windows, they agreed to a swap after two minutes on the phone explaining the
fault (the person on the end of the phone knew what Linux was and understood
my description of the fault), and the swap took place the next day free of
charge. 

(I'm writing this on a (VM on a) shiny new quad core box built from
components ordered from Novatech :-)
