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.

These are probably the cheapest stores around the GTA area.

Dabs are my favourite for general hardware, they have been very reliable.

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