Story: Top five PC manufacturers fail naked PC test
You can or used to able to get a naked pc from Dell
In the past I have ordered pc's with no OS from Dell. It took a little persistence but eventually by threatening to take my order else where they buckled. This was an order for about 30 Optiplex desktops. The reason why I wanted they PC without Windows was the company I worked for had an enterprise agreement with Microsoft so we did not want Windows XP Pro OEM on there.
If there's a reasonable amount of money on the table you might be surprised what a sales person is willing to do.
