I should have a small discount soon through ADP Mods the owner is trying to see what he can do for us. I will post back as soon as I hear anything, he had always offered users a discount when i was mirroring Omega drivers and not one person clicked his banner and actually purchased something so he was hesitant but said he will try his best to offer something soon

Here's a link I find useful for canadians : http://www.pricenetwork.ca/

You can search for a computer product and it will give a list of canadian retailers that have it along with prices. Be careful as some of these retailers are smaller and less well known.

I used this website the last time I bought from NCIX. It allowed me to find cheaper prices for the products I was purchasing and NCIX price matched them.

http://techtastic.pricenetwork.ca/br...endors.php?c=1
i suggest using using the search option here...
http://techtastic.pricenetwork.ca/
then find the cheepest prices and use www.dangeo.com to order your parts they'll price match the cheepest price u find on techtastic, FREE SHIPPING, i think on orders over 500... good thing is you get everything from one place...

That's right, 50% off Nexus 400W Power Supplies, 50% off ConnectorZ, 50% of cables, adapters and HEATSINKS.

Over The Top Computing in Nepean Ontario http://ottcomputing.com as well as OEM Express www.oemexpress.com are excellent here in the Ottawa area, when living in the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia www.brucesonline.com and www.oldmillcomputers.com provided excellent service.

prices are amazing. free shipping too. however so far not a good experience. I made an order on Tuesday morning. For some reason payment failed. Although I know the information was correct and there was enough mongh on the credit card. So i call them wednesday morning to see what the issue was. I wait on hold for 30 minutes yet the whole time i was 'first in line, the next agent will answer your call.' When the agent came online i could hardely understand him. He spoke very weak english, and to top it off he was too far from the mic/phone i could barely hear him. From what i did hear of him, he didn't tell me anymore info than i already knew. He didn't know why the payment failed yet it stated on the status email to contact them for more information. I told him the information is right and try to process the payment again. He said he would, then would send me an email about the status afterwards. That was tuesday morning. I've yet to hear anything. Definately not recommended.

Also NCIX weekly sales can be quite good so worth checking out. Shipping cost can be high depending on the order (e.g. a PC case), but they have shipping promotions on numerous items and occasionally have shipping promotions. They also have a strong forum.
One note is that for provinces outside of BC that don't have HST, there is no provincial sales tax.

You don't need to wait for shipping deals with directcanada though . $8.99 for express shipping for almost everything, and orders over $300, free shipping.

Just an FYI, directcanada and NCIX are sister companies, the service should be almost exactly the same for both.
