Buying a computer without an OS installed is easy. You just have to not go into the brick-n-morter stores, but go online to various stores. I bought my quad computer without an OS. I then added a 19" monitor from a differentonline store, which was cheaper than buying the computer's store LCD/LED options. That was a few years back, but I see computers all the time listed with either no OS or Win7. I will never buy a Win8 computer, with its anti-Win7 and anti-Linux security system
Try TigerDirect.com for your computer needs. I do. They have good warranties as well.
