Nah mindfactory is the one selling for $478.23. Aggressively low prices, fast shipping (as in they don't dally which usually means next day arrival) competent support but only the legal minimum, you can pay extra to get shop instead of manufacturer RMAs etc. Also free shipping only above a certain amount and if you order between midnight and IIRC six in the morning, as the story goes the CEO was annoyed that staff had nothing to do in the mornings while evenings were swamped. They're making money with volume and having customers who know what they want.
They should be pretty representative of people building their own boxes, be that private or companies who don't contract it out.
