Check out tigerdirect.com or even dell if you want to pay a bit of a premium.
They usually have good stuff and have always been reliable for me. On a side note, I would get a HDD that runs at 7200 rpm if you can. You probably don't need a 200 gig HDD either. Most of us can get by with 120 easily. If you happen to need to store extra stuff just get an external for whatever you're not accessing constantly.

Avoid the Toshiba Satellite like the plague!! We bought one, brought it home and within a week it's screen went black. The computer was running you just couldn't see anything. Took it back to Best Buy and exchanged it for another one...same damn thing happened! So I started looking around online and found that this is a recurring issue with the Satellite running Vista. We took it back again, this time to get a refund and while we were there in the customer service line another couple walks in with a Toshiba Satellite to return it for...you guessed it, same problem!!
We went over to Costco and got an HP Pavilion dv9000. Only had it for about 4 months but so far it's been a pretty good machine.
Oh, and, Vista sucks!!!!!!!
