shipping and duty may rule out buying from canada but i would not rule it out.

computeravenue (http://www.computeravenue.ca) computerboulevard (http://www.computerboulevard.ca)

here are the two places i shop at. remember though prices might seem high the US greenback buys alot up here.

heh what part of canada?

[LinuxLuke]

'round Ontario Canada, about 2 hours north of Toronto

techtronics (http://www.techtronics.ca)

this maybe a good option (depending on shipping). there are cheap prices at alot of US based sites too but shipping, exchange, and duty would kill any saving (if at all).

Well, I've looked around that Computer avenue place, and one of their upgrades seems good, it's practically a whole computer, for half the price of their packages (most of the price being that damned XP...)

well i picked up their gold update package with a few changes (XP 1800+,gf4 mx440, 256 MB ddr, and no speakers), a ethernet hub and three ethernet cables for $960
