Canadian Online Retailers?

[lung]

As I am living in British Columbia, Canada, I am wondering if there are any good online retailers that you guys know about? It kinda sucks to read about all the American ones because it would be too expensive to order. The combination of our sucking Dollar and duty as it crosses the border would be horrendous. Add into the mix that there really aren't that many good retailers to choose from here and I am left looking at buying parts online.. Thanks for any suggestions.

NCIX is the best. Check them out.

The thing is that A-Power is cheaper and is local. I can't actually see any reason to go to NCIX unless you can give me one.

For what I want to get:

NCIX
KT3-Ultra ARU: 222.88
Athlon XP+ 1800 Retail: 204
512MB PC2700 Generic Ram: 225

Total: 651.88 + shipping + shipping time

A-Power
KT3-Ultra ARU: 219
Athlon XP+ 1800 Retail: 209
512MB PC2700 Generic Ram: 212

Total: 640 + no shipping ($4 for bus or get a ride) + an hour there and back

Actually, I just noticed the price matching on NCIX... Still though, there is the shipping costs..

Both places seem expensive, I just bought an MSI KT3-Ultra ARU for $193 and a retail XP1800+ for $185 here in Ottawa.

Lung, in your case I would get on the bus!

I get a lot of stuff from ncix despite living in Ont. because I don't have to pay PST.

Diehardware, it's odd that they want less for an 1800 retail than a 1700 oem.

I got pretty much across the board lowest prices in the Lower Mainland from www.Anitec.ca; they're based in Vancouver, on Kingsway.

I got my MSI 645 Ultra for $119cdn, my Northwood 1.6A for $225 (currently down to $219 now), a 40GB maxtor hard drive (7,200rpm, ATA133, 2mb buffer) for $129, and 256mb of Samsung PC2700 for $119 (the price has since gone down to $109, and will probably go down further with the Micron/Hynix deal falling through).

They've got a nice store too, it's not a hole-in-the-wall that you wonder could be gone tomorrow. In my opinion it's worth it to pay a bit more money to be able to physically take your part back the store and explain the problem, instead of mailing it off to an on-line store.
