Canada Computers is pretty good, I haven't ordered online with them, I normally just pick up stuff from their store.

Don't buy from Tiger Direct. Alot of their stuff is bought refurbished from the USA. And if something is screwed and you want to return it they charge re-stocking fees. I work with D-Link and if someone calls saying they bought a router from Tiger Direct we tell them to get lost.

Tigerdirect gets mixed reviews, some people love it, some people hate it. Don't ever use their mail in rebates, they aparently never arrive. I'd stick to Brick and Mortar stores when buying computer parts.

Canada computers probably has the best prices, I'll co-sign that.

The problem is the next one you get might be refurbished and will crap out on you in 2 days.

Canada Computers does not have the 'best' prices.. they're pretty good though.. a couple $$$ here and there doesn't really matter.

I go there enough that I'm not treated like the average round eye anymore!
