The only time I worked at a place that used a local company (white boxes) was one of the most frustrating times I had supporting hardware, due to the fact that you hardly ever got the same thing 2 orders in a row.
No standardization. Even if you got one with the same specs, it ultimately did not have the same components inside. For small shops, this may not be a big enough issue to overrule the cost savings.

I've been a Dell customer for years, but lately don't think Dell has been offering the best price we can get (we are non-profit and state/GSA, although non-profit pricing is usually better). So I'm looking around. For desktops I'm not too picky as long as specs are similar. HP? Lenovo? Big Lots?
