Shopping from Canada

[daryl80]

Hi, im from Argentina and i have a friend in Canada whos coming here for holiday in a few days. Someone know where he can buy me a few things form there? how much taxes do they charge for buying in USA?
Im looking for a Mobile Athlon XP i found it in Buy.com at $77 american dollars, but how much more does it cost in Canada?
Other thing im looking for is the 6600GT AGP version at $200-220 american dollars, anyone saw one in that price range?

Thanks, Alejandro.

Great list mech, I shop at most of the places you've mentioned also. Obviously with Canada Computers and PCCanada on there you're in the GTA like me, and they're both good.

Another place I go to is Liata Computers in Mississauga. They have good deals on a lot of stuff, plus if you shop there frequently they cut you some slack in deals .

Most definately though, I'd say Canada Computers and PC Canada are a good place to find a good deal, as well as NCIX and Vibe (less variety at Vibe, but occasionally some good deals).
