Computer 2 Go in Bellevue, Cornhusker road.  Exit East on Hwy 75.. its in
the corner of the strip mall just north of Cornhusker, in the corner of
the mall.

I got some parts there for a system I was fixing for a friend, and the
prices were not 'out of this world cheap!' ... but pretty good/competitive
(as one can be in retail computer sales) and I think they're pretty
honest.  

Also ++ they had a linux box up to play with last time I was there...
Mandrake I think... and being the linux guy that I am... I kindly logged
them out of X as ROOT! =) created a user account, and restarted X for
them.  Then enabled the KMail to use localhost SMTP to send out a quick
spam mail to a friend. =)  At least he had a linux box up, its an option.

Their website is pretty plain though:
