For those that are in Canada East, I recommend a local shop that has an online store. THey are reasonably price wise and have served me well.

if anyone uses adpmods.com tell them that "Steve Ruxton" sent you, I have had a great relationship with the owner since they opened and he may offer up some sort of discount. Actually I am going to contact them and see if I can get some type of a discount for DH members

I've done a few orders through ADPMods. Three or four at least.
Best store so far. Shipping is always crazy fast.

I've only really used NCIX much, have had great service, only tried other stores a few times when NCIX didn't have what I wanted in stock... I might check out greenlyph though, they're close enough that I could pick stuff up and save on shipping.

I like ncix as well. atic.ca has cheaper prices, but ncix will usually match, and from what i've heard, their customer service is far greater than atic's.

NCIX.com is definately my favourite. Dealt with them a good 20+ times, never a problem except for a waterblock on back order for 2 months once

TigerDirect.com is decent, but they package very poorly often, and i always got damaged parcels.

PCCanada.com Is also another great one. Although they never told me the day the pacel was shipped, nor a tracking number. Ordering was pretty much hassle free, and i got the equipment less than a week after ordering.

Vibecomputers.com is great, very hassle free, great shipping time, however there stock has become somewhat limit in the past year or so.

www.pccyber.ca <- Questionable online service, but they have good prices in the Ottawa area. I say questionable because the last time I used their online service to order parts for local pickup, the order was never generated nor was I given a receipt or an order number!

www.shoprbc.com <- Great place to shop, but I have yet to utilize their shipping services. I usually do a local pickup. They have a price match option, which is readily available. Unfortunately, the turn around time for the price match isn't always as indicated.

www.genitechcomputers.com <- My only transaction with them so far as been great. My 2 Func Surface 1030 pads came in at a decent time.

P.S - I checked out some of the links above for the RAM I'm getting and so far ShopRBC.com have price matched NCIX for $275. Great for me since I can save a few dollars on shipping

PCCyber has some pretty good staff. Went there a couple times.
ShopRBC looks very promising! Thanks for the link, No_Style.
