+1 from me for PC Specialist; I bought both a laptop (pre-UEFI) and a
desktop (UEFI) PC from them, and I had no problem at all installing
Linux (Mint) on them. They also give you the capability to tailor the
basic specification (choice of CPU, RAM, HDD/SSD, optical drive, ...)
according to your desire for power vs cost.
