[lug] Best places to buy hardware for linux?

[Chip Atkinson]

I'd have to say that my experiences with Dell's monitors weren't that 
great either.  While they cheerfully replaced the first one, the second 
one died in a similar manner after the warranty expired.  It had a nice 
picture quality but the way it acted, I was kind of scared that it would 
catch the house on fire sometimes.  You could hear loud snapping sparks 
from a capacitor being discharged and see that blueish arc light coming 
from the ventilation slots.  (I have played with HV quite a bit so I 
know what I heard and saw).
