The good thing about LEK is they sell nice whiteboxes that are fully 
compatible with off the shelf parts. Two years later you can upgrade your box 
if you bought it from LEK. Also, you can specify the mobo so you don't get 
some quirky PCChips thing. Most of my LEK built computers used ASUS mobos, 
but they can order anything you want. Their prices are darn good for a local 
outfit.
