Geeks.com has sent me another computer that doesn't work.

This one works even less than other one does. Light comes on, I can hear some noise (possibly just a fan). Two different monitors plugged into it detect no output signal. Ugh, ugh, ugh. I cannot afford to ship another computer back to them, to say nothing of the difficulty of me getting a forty pound box to the post office.

I work for a local computer shop (unfortunately not local to you), and I have to suggest checking out what your local shops can offer. A custom-built machine with repairs done locally can be a good thing... but it all depends on the price and the quality of the components, as well as what warranty they offer, three things that are rarely all good together.
