Default need Canadian's Help

I live in Toronto area, I know there are lots Canadian users on OCN, hope someone can help.

here's the help i'm seeking.

considering I don't buy online. and not canada computer, or filtech or Infornec,

I'm looking for a Store that carries AM2+ Motherboards more then just ASUS and Gigabyte or 1x MSI,

that's what it looks like in most canadian stores, these are all they carry, 6-7 pages full of Intel boards but less then 8 AMD boards are on the list

if there's really nothing then I will have to buy ncix.com

Mainly looking for Abit boards or ECS boards, anything but asus(long story)

thanks lots

If it comes down to buying online try www.Memoryexpress.com, Canadian store and not as big as NCIX and others.

sorry I'm at work right now , can't getinto the detail, but , does it require credit card in anyway? cause I don't have one

EDIT: nevermind, they also only have ASUS, Gigabyte, 2x MSI and 1x Sapphire like the Toronto Stores, but thank you for hte info.

You'll just have to buy online. Canada Computers is a great option, and if you're nice enough to someone that cares there maybe they can swing something for you.

eBay is your friend ...and you don't need a credit card to buy something!

tax and shipping + wait time is my biggest problem with buying online, cause i never have enough money to buy anything, it has "always" been Sell and buy basis.

wow, there really nothing in toronto for somewhat more advanced user? sigh, these stores used to have al much options,

I wish I knew a place, but I don't! :/

honestly, buying online is your best bet. granted, you wait a bit for delivery, but you usually end up saving some money in the end.

have you checked TigerDirect at all?
