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 : )
