As for hardware, build it! www.newegg.com and you'll know
exactly what's in it, and can change anything at anytime. Building a
machine these days is like using Legos, most of the time you don't even
need the instructions. :-)
If it's for personal use, I'd second that. If you're building multiple
workstations that you'll need to support, there seems to be value in
making them consistent. Depending on the supplier and parts you choose,
this could become difficult when building your own due fluctuation in
part availability.
As for e-tailers like newegg.com, I've always found that hunting for a
decent local computer shop is better. If you're in a city, chances are
you'll find a place with good selection and knowledgable staff. The
sticker prices might be slightly higher, but I find that shipping costs
usually cancel out any difference. Maybe I'm just lucky to have a local
store with really good prices. Buying in local currency can make a big
difference too if you're not in the US.
