Canadian computer parts retailers?

Just wondering what are some websites that sell computer parts to Canadians... for purposes of price-checking/matching. Has to be listed in $CAD

I'm already aware of

www.ncix.com
www.memoryexpress.com


ncix has a price matching policy where you can submit a website and they'll try to match... I just don't really know of any other places!


In particular looking for other places that might sell the LG H30N SATA optical drive, or Antec P182SE case

    These guys are pretty good too. They're based in Abbotsford, BC. Their inventory is a little limited, however.

    Haven't checked if they carry your drive. But it's worth the bookmark.

    sweet, CC had the burner for a few $$$ less

    probably not going to find the case or heatsink anywhere yet - both are unreleased

    I think you said you were in etown, eh Deusfaux? Check out BCOM here in town, excellent rates. theres xcess cargo on the north side, super cheap but its kind of pot luck. Of course, both of those are places that exist in 3d, but I think bcom has a website with their specials and locations.

    Unfortunately Canada Computers is somewhat lacking when it comes to shipping (at least, the last time I checked). Canada Computers is great if you know exactly what you want. If you need help finding something or service things get a little bit dicey. All in all, it's my favourite computer store.

    Also, if you haven't signed up for NCIX's weekly newsletter: do it!

    In Edmonton: http://www.best-comp.com/

    They arn't bad, have some good prices.

    If you are looking for a burner, have you tried future shop? I got mine (an LG) for like $60-70 there. And they will price match.

    eh, ncix is good enough, just looking for other sites to price match against....


    Coma you silly fool, FS and BB sell retail optical drives. Everyone else buys them OEM from ncix or memory express for $40.

    FS and BB won't match that either cuz its retail vs oem (but who needs the box and stuff anyways?)
