where in Canada?
I can give you some options in Southern Ontario

....Futureshop is way overpriced on computer hardware, but they do have the most relaxed return policy I've ever seen

95% of the online U.S. resellers will ship to Canada - but you gotta pay big shipping $$$$'s to get it accross the boarder


if you're in Southern Ontario , these local places aren't too bad; depending on what you're looking for

www.pccanada.com
www.bigfootcomputers.com

Thank You RDR for the fast reply:)

I'm looking for MSI 845E Max2-BLR and ABIT Siluro GF4 Ti4200 OTES 64MB
So far newegg.com has the decent prices, but they dont ship to Canada. I'm looking into Albatron "Medusa" Ti4200 Turbo 64mb also.

PS: What do you guys think about this 2 products?

Thank You:cheers:

Elco Systems is who I deal with almost exclusively for stuff like that - & I have purchased a couple of those Albatron video cards from them.

they don't carry Abit or MSI - but they are the national dist for Epox - & they also carry ASUS, Shuttle & ECS motherboards & ASUS, ATi, Powercolor and Joytech videocards.

I buy enough there (for work) that I get reseller rates- plus I have $30K cdn credit limit and net30 terms - I'm not sure how they are to deal with as an end-user.

I think NCIX (www.ncix.com/canada/) would be a good bet for those specific items & their prices are reasonable too.
