I think they did a good job, and have less markup than the vendors you mentioned in the subject line. (They also offer more component choices than the other vendors listed-- I've been looking because I'm about ready to build/buy a new system.) But it's even more cost-effective to build it yourself. It's hard to answer what is the "best machine" without knowing more about your preferences. For example, Alienware offers brightly colored machines. It's not worth much to me, but there's a market...
