Sean,
         There is a shop on the NW corner of Wadsworth and 285 (Hampden) 
that will build a PC to your specifications.  I am sure if you don't 
specify Windows you won't get it.  Its called Advanced Computer 7625 W. 
Hampden 303-988-7096.  I stopped in and talked to Dave Coming for a while 
one day, he is a pretty nice guy.  They have some pretty cool cases 
too.  Another place to check is Computer Renaissance near the Barnes and 
Nobel by SW plaza.  They will also build a computer to spec.  If you have 
one built you can specify Linux friendly parts : )
