I am going to be spending around 150$ american soon in purchasing some stuff to do some modding :) . I have got addicted to it recently. Now i ask, have any of you purchased or heard anything about : www.pcmods.com, www.umaxpc.com, www.frozencpu.com, www.coolerguys.com.

Any information would help. I am specifially looking for info about personal opinions on transactions, and shipping costs. I am worried that my costs will skyrocket because i live in canada :(

I haven't bought from any of 'em except for frozencpu, and I just bought this from them (really is nice) and I had no problems with them, just UPS who lost my package, then found it about 1000 miles from where I am, so it shipped about 5 days late, but as far as frozencpu experience, it was great :)

www.pcmods.com is like the one of the original first popular cooling sites and they are too expensive for me
www.umaxpc.com is a great online retailer

I've heard of frozencup and coolerguys but I have never personally purchased from them.

I got to say, umaxpc has the coolest looking CS grill, so much better than anything else at that price.

I bought a blue led and a couple blue anodized thumb screws from them and everything was great. Shipping was kind of a rip off because it was only two small items, but hey, thats the price you gotta pay for not finding it else where.
