That's a great price.  TigerDirect had it for $45.  So I'm going with 
NewEgg on that one.

I've finished making my choices.  Thanks to everyone for the tips.  I 
ended up buying a locally-packaged machine that had a little less power 
for a little more money but they will do all the work of putting it 
together and they'll have it for me in a day or two.  I need that at this 
point because I'm running out of time -- I leave in a week.

But, I'm adding the PCI-E card with DVI out, and I am buying the Hanns.G 
monitor because they had it at PCConnection for $109 after rebate.  Things 
of read lead me to believe that it is a good monitor.  None of the 
Samsungs, etc., were competitive.  I guess I'm taking a chance, but if no 
one takes a chance, how does a good new company break into this market?

I have to assume they will actually give me the promised $120 in rebates:

I'm having them ship it overnight.
