There is more at http://www.costco.com/ than what you can find in your local store. Check the web before you call.


My suggestion- <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11044571&whse=BC&topna

Googer. The issue we had went over had to do with resolution. The suggestion you had was a nice TV in general, but the resolution was the evil one thats really not that great for computers.

Order Subtotal: (CAD) 1,999.36 *
US Shipping & Handling 56.36
International Shipping & Handling 226.93
Customs, Duties, Taxes, and Insurance 414.63
Order Total: (CAD) 2,697.29 *

These guys have a comprehensive description of international billing. No extra costs, the final price, is indeed the final price.

etronics is a great company. I've bought stuff from them in the past (couple DVD players I kept and a receiver that I returned with no issues or haggling). If you can't find it in Canada, I'd go with them from the States.

EDIT: They're actually a Mom & Pop store / Greek family in NY, and will talk and discuss anything you want if you call them.

That is very good to hear. For a mom and pop store, they certainly have a great set of customer service available to them. I'm still waiting for some responses back in email about finding it in Canada. If by Friday I can't find it, I will just order it from there.

Should one worry about supporting a 37" display? I noticed along the left hand side how the high end EVGA cards support up to 30" displays. Well the one I want is 37" and the card im getting is that exact 7800GT CO edition.

The size of the monitor is irrelevant, its the resolution!

I know that :p But I am unsure of these strange devices called flat panels, hehe. The westinghouse is my choice more or less, and I will have my choice! :D

You'll be fine driving that panel. The 30" monitor the eVGA refers to is the Apple 30" Cinema Display which has a Dual-Link DVI connector and ultra-high resolution as a requirement. The Westinghouse (I assume that's still what you're after) has no such issues. Game on, bro!
