What OEM puts together the best systems?

What OEM puts together the best systems? I am looking for an OEM that uses quality parts, great price point and allows me to highly customize certain parts(choice of motherboard, videocard, soundcard). I am tired of Dell, or Alienware which just gives me a couple of choices. Please let me know which OEMs you think are the best and why.
thanks

Falcon Northwest is pretty good. You can try a local small computer store (though they sometimes lack selection), you can order it all yourself and put it together yourself. If you are in the seattle area I would be willing to give you a hand. I just got done ordering all my stuff and will be getting my PC here hopefully by friday. Other than that you could try google and search for custom built PC's.
