It's always fun building a new PC, but...

Direct Canada ftw. I order everything I can from there, never had a problem.

Just checked... I'll have to bookmark that.

Just checked... I'll have to bookmark that.

I've found they pretty much always have the lowest prices, free shipping over $300, they are based in BC so no PST. They're always my first choice. Parts get here pretty quick too, considering how far they have to travel.

Actually I recently discovered newegg.ca.. had no clue they had a Canada version. I went on there and holy crap they have way more selection then all the other places I usually go to (ncix and tigerdirect). That will probably be my next place to shop at. I even found a case that has like 24 bays and sata controllers with 24 ports! Perfect for my future SAN project.

I wonder if they ship from the states though, if yes that means it could take a month or so to get stuff, and there would be crazy border fees when doing big orders. But if they have a warehouse in Canada then it is totally my new shopping place.

Newegg has a Canadian warehouse but in my experience the vast majority of orders are still shipped from the US. There are NO DUTIES whatsoever under any circumstances. The packages are _VERY_ slow, however. I've waited up to 12 business days to get a package from them

If I can order from anyone else I will before I order from Newegg.

AFAIK NAFTA only applies if the goods are made in the USA/CAN/MEX. If the goods come to the US from China, and then are sold to Canada, then duty applies. I may be wrong but this is what I heard.

Trust me, us Canadians get RAPED on border fees no matter where it was made. I once ordered a hard drive that was $150. The duties were $70.

Newegg Canada charges $1 to handle customs & duties IIRC.

XP on a quad core is full of win. So snappy! I did not even get rid of the fisher price crap yet, it will only go faster from here.

Ick, I just vomited a little in my mouth. People are still using XP? Why? Are you poor?
