heh you are always welcome to buy your gear off me
I just so happen to work for a large computer comapny in West Canada.
I personalt would avoid ALL the big guys as the service you get from the local shop is so much better. You will ALWAYS get that personal touch thats lacking in the big boys.
And little know to the user is they all use the same parts made by the same companies. People see dell and thinks they are getting "better" parts than the local shop. An ASUS MB is an ASUS MB no matter where you buy it.
just my thoughts.
