You have some choices:

1) Find a vendor offering to sell a machine with Linux preinstalled.
   At times in the past, IIRC, both HP and Dell used to do this.

2) Call up a sales guy from your preferred vendor and ask to purchase a bare 
machine without OS.
   If they refuse to sell you one, choose another vendor.

3) Buy a machine with the base Win 7 Home installed, decline the license, and 
request a refund.
   Be prepared to waste significant time on this, but it can be done.
