----------------------------------- Mackie Tue Apr 22, 2008 10:19 pm Computer Parts? ----------------------------------- Does anyone know of a good computer part supplier that ships to Canada. Newegg doesn't ship to Canada. :( I want to try my hand at building a PC. ----------------------------------- TheFerret Wed Apr 23, 2008 2:04 am RE:Computer Parts? ----------------------------------- Your best bet is Ncix.com, overnight shipping for cheap and each part is cheap as well... Next up would be tigerdirect.ca ----------------------------------- Mackie Wed Apr 23, 2008 2:23 pm RE:Computer Parts? ----------------------------------- Nice! This looks like a farily good site. (Ncix). I just don't trust TigerDirect... ----------------------------------- rdrake Wed Apr 23, 2008 9:33 pm RE:Computer Parts? ----------------------------------- [url=http://www.canadacomputers.com/]Canada Computers is also pretty good. ----------------------------------- jernst Thu Apr 24, 2008 8:53 am Re: Computer Parts? ----------------------------------- I've used tigerdirect, NCIX and Canada Computers, theyre all pretty good. If you end up going with tiger don't expect to get any rebates back quickly if at all :S. And recently I've had some problems with them. They said they shipped my video card but UPS said they didnt get anything from them yet so I had to argue with them before they sent another one :S it was a pain but it got worked out so I guess it could have been worse. ----------------------------------- Vermette Thu Apr 24, 2008 9:16 am RE:Computer Parts? ----------------------------------- Add my support to NCIX. Competitive prices, fairly good shipping options, and as a bonus they ship out of BC, so as long as you are also not in BC you don't pay PST (8% in Ontario) on your goods! I recently built a new box shopping exclusively through them. Tigerdirect advertises some really good deals, but you get PST, and they always seem to use the most expensive shipping. ----------------------------------- jernst Thu Apr 24, 2008 5:26 pm Re: RE:Computer Parts? ----------------------------------- Tigerdirect advertises some really good deals, but you get PST, and they always seem to use the most expensive shipping. True, they used to have really cheap shipping, you used to be able to get next day shipping for like 10 bucks before 9-11 but since then, they seem to have switched alot of their stock to warehouses in the states and now with border crossings it has gotten rediculously expensive :( ----------------------------------- Mackie Thu Apr 24, 2008 9:59 pm RE:Computer Parts? ----------------------------------- Ok I think I have picked out a nice mother board. What fo you folks think? http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=25851&vpn=P5K-E/WIFI-AP&manufacture=ASUS ----------------------------------- apomb Fri Apr 25, 2008 7:23 pm Re: Computer Parts? ----------------------------------- Thats a solid board, what processr are you looking at? ----------------------------------- Mackie Fri Apr 25, 2008 8:11 pm Re: Computer Parts? ----------------------------------- Timmy[ the turtle ], didn't quite agree with that mother board so we've decided on a better one. [url=http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=27901&vpn=P5N%2DD&manufacture=ASUS]Motherboard Here are some other parts I've decided on, tell me what you think: [url=http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3685290&Sku=TC3J-2341]Case and Power Supply *Already Purchased* [url=http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=22211&vpn=BX80562Q6600&manufacture=Intel]Processor [url=http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=26498&vpn=L226WTY-BF&manufacture=LG%20Electronics]Screen [url=http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=27702&vpn=GH20LS10%20BLACK&manufacture=LG%20Electronics]DVD Drive [url=http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=25352&vpn=OCZ2P8004GK&manufacture=OCZ%20Technology]RAM [url=http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=26783&vpn=88YFF6HUFEXV&manufacture=Galaxy%20Technology]Graphics Card **** I haven't picked out a hard drive yet. But other than that I think I have everything I need there. EDIT: I think I found my future hard drive. :D [url=http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=27144&vpn=ST3500320AS&manufacture=Seagate]Hard Drive ----------------------------------- StealthArcher Fri Apr 25, 2008 8:27 pm RE:Computer Parts? ----------------------------------- Nice stuff, how big of a HDD do you need, I'd assume at least .5TB http://www.ncix.com/products/productdetail2.php?noheader=1&sku=27144 Seagate makes nice HDD's, have one myself, works as good as you'd expect an HDD to, and its 500GB. Wow, you picked the exact same dang HDD I did. :shock: Are you stalking me? ----------------------------------- syntax_error Fri Apr 25, 2008 9:17 pm RE:Computer Parts? ----------------------------------- so whats you totally coming to? ----------------------------------- HellblazerX Fri Apr 25, 2008 9:45 pm Re: Computer Parts? ----------------------------------- I think it would be best if you looked for some of those motherboard + cpu bundles. Currently, your motherboard, CPU and RAM total to about $500, but there are such bundles that go for less. I wasn't able to find any combos with the specific motherboard you wanted, but if you took the time to look for a good bundle, you could save yourself a whack load of money. On a side note: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3827767&Sku=MBV-X38-2600A seems like pretty good deal ----------------------------------- wtd Fri Apr 25, 2008 11:17 pm RE:Computer Parts? ----------------------------------- I can drive to an NCIX outlet in about 15 minutes. :) ----------------------------------- Mackie Sat Apr 26, 2008 9:52 am RE:Computer Parts? ----------------------------------- What's better: Nvidia SLI or ATI Crossfire? I found some bundles I like but, they are all ATI. :( ----------------------------------- StealthArcher Sat Apr 26, 2008 11:10 am RE:Computer Parts? ----------------------------------- I've always been one to Use NVidia myself, but I haven't heard much bad about ATI since the old Radeon 9700 days. ----------------------------------- jernst Sat Apr 26, 2008 3:58 pm Re: Computer Parts? ----------------------------------- I used to use ATI back in those days, but lately I've been using nVidia. Have 2 8800s and they work pretty nicely if your into vid games. I think the price has probably dropped alot since I bought mine too :) ----------------------------------- Sean Sat Apr 26, 2008 4:03 pm Re: Computer Parts? ----------------------------------- Nvidia is what I prefer. Using them in both my machines. ----------------------------------- Mackie Mon Apr 28, 2008 5:29 pm RE:Computer Parts? ----------------------------------- I went with Nvidia, ATI seems like a dirty company. ----------------------------------- rdrake Mon Apr 28, 2008 8:46 pm Re: RE:Computer Parts? ----------------------------------- I went with Nvidia, ATI seems like a dirty company.If you ever wish to run Linux on the machine, ATI is a horrible choice. ----------------------------------- Mackie Mon Apr 28, 2008 8:49 pm RE:Computer Parts? ----------------------------------- Excellent, I love Linux, and hate ATI.
