$50Cdn not going to buy much...maybe try northernmicro

then what would be the best for around $80 or so?

 

[DieHardware]

Does it have to be new?(check the FS forum here or newsgroups in his area) If he needs new northern has a few for $85 and ncix has a SHUTTLE AV18E for $93 and Canadacomputers has an ASUS CUV266 for $89.

because of the cut throat competition in computer products here, Canada has become a dumping ground for gray market mobo's and cpu's. Just make sure you buy from a reputable computer seller that has the real thing.
