You might want to specify Vancouver, BC Canada in your thread title otherwise it could be Vancouver, WA

There's a Vancouver, WA???

who knew.

What's with Different places having the same name??

Like I live in Burlington, ON and there's a Burlington, vermont. So I'm going boarding in burlington, vermont and the guy at the border is like "where you going" I say "Burlington" he says "where ya coming from???" I say "Burlington" he says "I see...."

And appparantly every year these 2 burlingtons engage in the burlington games (which is going on right now) and Burlington ontario is embarrassed by burlington vermont every year so I don't know why we bother.

Vancouver in BC, Canada:

A-power.com
Ncix.com
ATIC.ca
(too lazy to linkify)

NEVER shop at ATIC. Just use their prices to price match with NetLink.

I thought Russ was near Kent, isn't that a few hours away from Seattle?

Unless those are Canadian prices FFMCobalt, that is far from worth it.


Joohang, you have something against ATIC.CA? There service sucks, but other than that you can get some pretty good deals there. NCIX is a rip off. ANITEC.CA has some very good deals on specific items.

Richmond is a 10 min. drive from where I live (Delta), and 15 min. from downtown Vancouver...it is over 50% Asian, and has a high concentration of small computer stores.

<< Where is Richmond BC? >>


It's part of Greater Vancouver. Where the Vancouver airport is. Just below Vancouver city.

I heard nothing but negative crap about that store. :)

NCIX is a rip off, I know. That's why I price match. ;) It's right across my place, too (2 min walk). :Q PRIVACY ALERT!!! :Q

I had very positive deals with A-power. Their prices tend to beat ATIC quite often, while they offer a pretty decent service.

Are you just looking for a canadian supplier of pc components to build pc's for re sale? That could narrow my list.

Could you just share your list so that I can price match? :)

Joohang,


I noticed that all these comp. stores will match each others prices for the most part...they are all aware of each others pricing, so it doesn't really matter in the end which store you go to.

Oh. I wasn't aware of that.

I don't mind Netlink though. I just pricematch online with A-power and just walk over there to pay and pick it up.

But as a store overall.. I think it sucks. I personally don't trust stores that promote &quot;overclock guaranteed&quot; bundles on their homepage.

People who shop with them online (i.e. Noriaki) seem to like them, though.

And besides, ATIC pisses me off with their cocky &quot;news&quot; page, where they act like they are tech analyst gods.

Kent is around 30 miles south of Seattle if I am not mistaken.
