Where to buy an alpha?

I have been having a great deal of trouble getting a quote out of my
local Compaq recommended academic reseller of alphas. It has been
over a week since I was promised a quote (which was more than two
weeks after making the initial request). If this is how prospective
customers are treated I do not want to find out how much they can
ignore me after they have my money. Of course I could rant on about
Compaq making it difficult to buy from them. Why can't I get a price
quote right on their webpage like I can at that other Texas based
computer company?

So, does anybody have recommendations for Compaq alpha resellers which
can provide me with academic pricing for a small ($5-15k) alpha
system?

Also, is the old Digital restriction which limits the campus site
license agreement to Digital hardware still in effect for Compaq? The
old Digital web page was in place last time I looked, but it hadn't
been updated in years.
