I would recommend TranMicro. I built a friend of mine a computer about 6 months ago for about $1400 after tax. Case 400W power supply. AMD Athlon 200MHz FSB 1000GHz CPU 64MB DDR GeForce 2 (Creative) Sound Blaster Live Gamer Teac CDRW 8x Pioneer DVD 12x ASUS K7T Motherboard 256MB Micron PC133 These guys put the computer together right in front of us in about 15 minutes or so. I fully expected to be doing that myself. I think they beat General Nanosystems for both selection, ability to browse and overall friendliness.
