Why not support your local clone builder?  I like the
stuff I've bought from ComputerEase -- although it bugs
me to no end that they don't have a web site.  They
can build you a computer to spec for less than what
you pay for a prebuilt from Future $hop, Inane Irving
or any of the other big chain stores in Mtl.  And they
fix 'em if there's a problem.  And they don't try to
sell you a useless 'extended' warranty that they try
to weasel their way out of anytime anyone tries to take
advantage of it (I'm talking Future $hop here).  And
they'll sell you decent components, not like the fly-by-
night cloners who sell these incredibly cheap systems.
And they don't over load the machines with tons of
*useless* crap like IBM, and the other biggies.

And it's a GOOD THING that these places exist, otherwise
we'll be stuck with only Future $hop and Compucentre
and the like.
