    WD 160GB for $99.99 CDN at Future Shop

    Just an addon to this, Best Buy (canada) has the maxtor IDE 160g, 7200 rpm for $120, looks like no rebates too, just a price drop. Say, what would you guys recomemed picken up the WD for $100 (rebates) or the maxtor $120 (no rebates i think) ? Is the maxtor worth/justified for the $20 more?

    Sapphire 9600 Pro: Does it use non-standard heatsink holes?

    To my knowledge it should be the exact same hole set for all the radeons, i recently installed a Vga silencer on mine and it only has one set of holes for it, and it fit fine on my sapphire 9600p. Not sure if this helps at all tho.... good luck with that

    Mail ordering video card in Canada: tips?

    I highly recommend Dangeo, they are actually out of Calgary so shipping would be like nothing for you ( no pickups... ). They also offer a great pricematch feature, and they will match any non cash discounted price ( they do cash ones too, but tack on like 3%) from any shops that ship Canada...
