Canadian Distributors??

Anyone know of some Canadian based distributors for mini-itx boards, power supplies, etc.

I'm familiar with www.tigerdirect.ca, www.ncix.com and www.directcanada.com but their selection of carpc specific components is limited at best. I'm hoping to locate some canadian distributors in order to avoid the ridiculous brokerage fees charged by UPS/Fed Ex.

www.Minipc.ca seems to be the only canadian based company i've found but their prices are so much higher than the US companies that any saving on brokerage fees is lost in the difference.

Also, I've come across a site, www.starlinepc.ca which carries a pretty good selection of these products but their site seems a bit "incomplete" and I've managed to get an initial response from their webmaster, but nothing in some followup emails. They are apparently located out of Burlington, Ontario (near Toronto) but unless I hear back from the webadmin or someone here can validate them for me, I'm hesitant to buy from them.

Anyone??

I actually have recently started up a small business based out of Pickering. I have access to great prices for Mini-ITX boards, power supplies, and all the other parts for a complete system.

Currently I am custom fabricating a screen to fit in a 2001 Lincoln LS for my first customer.

If you let me know the parts you want I can give you a quote. I even have a good amount of extra parts (slot-load DVD drives, adaptors, etc) to help with the process.

PM me or just post a response with what you are looking for.
