I've recently found a good place for people living on the east coast of Canada

Green Lyph Computers Halifax, NS

Prices are pretty comparable to some US sites even, and they only really carry high end stuff. Customer services is pretty great too.

list updated 11/25

Is there any of the UK sites where you don't have to pay for the tax between countries(I don't know the name for this...)?I am in Portugal

Local GTA Canadian Sites:
http://www.gogocomputers.com
http://www.infonec.com

These are probably the cheapest stores around the GTA area.

Probably worth noting that dabs.com also have a French site. www.dabs.com/fr
Dabs are my favourite for general hardware, they have been very reliable.

nothing for mexico?
btw... in the us (texas) where can i buy an insane motherboard

any asian sites?? atleasts those that deliver to asia like pakistan??

That's a huge list. Thanks

if this were a poll, i'd be voting for newegg. Great retailer, good customer support, often the cheaper then the competition.

not sure if it been posted yet

www.etronics.com

GREAT SITE!!

(note: not really computer hardware site, but great place to buy Electronics)

i was wondering if anyone knows a list of links for stores in edmonton,alberta, canada

Anyone know anything about the computer company Re-tek (google them if you want their address).
Just ordered a new graphics card and I was wondering if it's going to get here and if so if it will be in good condition.
Anyone had any experience with these people?

belgium:

www.hofline.com

^cheapest in belgium

http://www.compu-square.be/
http://www.eurosys.be/

I would suggest adding ResellerRatings links to the resellers on the first post

for the toronto niagara and markham ontario area

www.tigerdirect.ca
www.factorydirect.com
www.summitdirect.com

http://www.overclockers.co.uk - Dont know if any one has allready said this one, but this is ware i get all my hardware from. The Best UK site in y opinion.

yup overclockers is quite good.

Man Markham, Ontario has a ****load of stores!

Been using www.skysolutions.co.uk

I dont bother ordering online with em I just call em up and boy do they deliver!

Just bought a Athlon San Deigo 3700 from them - only reseller in the country who has them!

what's the best store for ram in canada? something like crucial.com but for canada

Robotnik

Halifax, NS Canada
This store has turned around big time in the past year, and carries excellent quality stuff (any coolermaster case you want) and their prices have improved big time over what they were. As well, $5 to pretty much anywhere!

As far as RAM goes for Rudy though, not the greatest place to buy ram

listed updated 5/6

all the asians settle here, so people like me can reap the benefits of our illegit friends.

ComputerCenter

For romanian customers but they can ship anywhere in the world
