I just bought my computer from AVA Direct and I recommend them. I priced the same setup at probably 8 different vendors (but not EZ trading). Most vendors seem to price their computers about 40% to 60% above the cost of buying the parts from Amazon or Newegg. (Of course the vendor’s margin is higher because they buy the parts wholesale.) In return for the markup they assemble and test the computer, wrap the individual parts’ warranties with one of their own, and provide phone tech support. AVA Direct and ecollegepc seem to price their computers more like 10-15% above the sum of the parts. I went with AVA Direct because they happened to have my processor in stock. Kyle was knowledgeable and helpful, and they delivered a great product on time. One note... from a price perspective, none of the custom pc guys seem to be competitive with Amazon (for example) on monitors.
