Yes Lixy, the Independent Dealer would be the opposite of a Best Buy or Staples... They tend to be a lot smaller store, with little software and mostly hardware. They will advertise barebones systems (which usually consist of a case, motherboard, processor, and chip), and complete systems. Look around to see if there are any local computer publications (often free) and look through the ads. They are usually full of ads from Independent Dealers... good lucK!!
