Have you tried CPUsed (http://www.cpused.com)? I believe they're at Bathurst
and Dupont.  They used to sell parts, but I'm not sure now although they
still sell used Macs.

Also there's Carbon Computing (http://www.carbonation.com) which is on Queen
Street East (just east of Broadview).

Depending on what you need you can also try a PC store.  That shows you the
versatility of Macs.  Half the stuff on my B&W (i.e. DVD burner, IDE cables,
RAM, optical USB mouse, USB2.0/Firewire card, all 3 hard drives) are from a
strictly PC store and I got them well below retail.

Aside from that, as one of the clerks from CPUsed advised me to do, try
ebay.ca.  Do not go through ebay.com as some items may not be available to
Canadians.   Ebay.ca at least guarantees you that the item in question is
available to us.  However Ebay does carry the old warning "Buyer beware".
If you're careful and do your homework you should be able to score what you
need.  Ebay.ca does have more access to Mac stuff than a retail store.

Good luck.
