Shopping Canadian
 
Is there any useful online shopping sites similar to newegg that are good for canadians? NewEgg doesn't ship outside the US.

I'm looking into buying a new computer as well but I'm looking for more of a canadian owned business rather than just going to dell dot CA. :D

Any suggestions? Oh and the computer will be gaming related so I'm talking around maybe 1500-1750$ Max. CANADIAN DOLLARS, hehe.

Thanks.

Why don't you go downtown? Toronto? Canada Computer has really good prices. Tiger Direct is decent, but not the best. I got my computer from ICCT, you can check out their site at http://www.icct.ca/.

What I'm really looking for is a Canadian version of Price Watch. http://www.pricewatch.com/

CanadaComputers is excellent for cheap, reputable parts. I often goto the locale in the Pacific mall in Markham north of Toronto. If you know what you're looking for, and you know they have it, you can just give them a list of the parts you want and they'll fill the order for you and give some simple advice. Its a chinese mall though, so the shopping experience is not 'north american'; its pretty cramped and the service during the busy times is lacking.
Also, another benefit of the Pacific mall is that there are two or three other computer stores within a 30 scond walk. So you can get the prices from one shop, goto the next store and watch them beat the previous shops prices; repeat.

Yea, the one at Pac Mall is always packed. You can barely squeeze yourself through the doorway most of the time. The one on College is marginally bigger, but isn't nearly as packed most of the time.

Hmm, cool, didn't know Pacific Mall had a website.

Anyways, like I said, I got my computer from ICCT. Pretty much handed them a list of what I wanted, made a few slight adjustments, and got it in a couple of days. They even went and put it together for me, free. They're pre-built systems aren't that bad either.
