Good day all,
My current desktop is starting to show its age and I have been looking at ordering new parts for it and at a huge marked up price. Basically the plan was to use what I have that works and doesn't need replacing and upgrade what does. So case, video card, power supply...all good.
The issue I have is in Newfoundland there aren't many places aside from small businesses that sell parts to buy like that. Futureshop just recently closed shop and Best Buy & Staples have stopped carrying the peripherals I need. I am also getting mixed reviews from people who have ordered from NCIX. Some saying they wouldn't go near the place and others saying they have had no issue. -le sigh- So, for those of you who have bought loose parts and built your own systems, what places would you recommend? Either in Canada or ship to Canada without costing an arm and a leg preferably.
