I echo the endorsements for PC Cyber and RB...I'll throw some love in for Canada Computers on Merivale Road. CC prices are not cash-discounted either, in case you need to charge it. Cheers.

Since they don't keep everything listed in local stock, your best bet is to place the order online (see http://www.shoprbc.com/ca/index.php) for in-store pickup. It usually only takes a day or two for your purchase to travel from where it's at to the store front at 235 Stafford Rd. (see http://www.shoprbc.com/about/contactUs.php).

I also like RB Computing, but they are out in Bells Corners in the west end. ok. and in terms of a decent, 2TB external drive for all my tunes, recommendations? don't need anything stupidly expensive, just reliable. thanks. the new WD green series are getting a bad rep for both performance and reliability, I personally would stay away from them. I would also be wary of putting such a large amount of data on a single external drive. Fortunately, NAS arrays such as the dns-323 are quite reasonably priced these days - NCIX has it on sale for $120. It runs linux internally (bonus!) and can do a raid-1 between 2 SATA drives. cheers! --Raj. rday ___ Linux mailing list Linux@lists.oclug.on.ca http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/linux
