I'm sure you'll get a few PMs with experiences, but the best bet would be to get a second opinion here for any advice that is questionable.
Unfortunatley our board rules don't really allow thorough store recomendations, but many of the local shops are part of our satisfaction polls, so you might want to browse them for popular stores.

As Brad has pointed out, we can't give out advise on specific stores on the forum. Definitely check out the vendor rating forums section as that will give you an idea of what people think of stores in Calgary, and the rest of Canada.
I'd also second edikpok's advise on looking for a good used system, as you will save hundreds of dollars buying a used system on canreef instead of purchasing everything new. I found canreef not too long after purchasing a brand new system and was kicking myself for it.
Any idea on what type of system you want to run?
