    I still watch them on ebay as I need to pick up one more. 300 Dollars with minor problem (hinge, etc) 350 to 400 bucks for complete working with no problems. So it will be hard to find one for that price.

    Or you just needing something to game on? If it doesn't need to be a laptop I know of a M-ITX motherboard that takes a Socket M CPU, DDR2 laptop ram and has A full PCI Express 16 slot, 945 chipset. I have three of these boards for other projects, work good. Played skyrim on MED With 1GB 6570 ATI card. The motherboard and power adapter needed for this will set you back under 30 bucks. I can send you the ebay links if needed. I don't know if you have the other stuff needed laying around like monitor, keyboard, etc.

    Not what you asked for but if you are on a budget it may fit the bill, picture of it on my bench being tested. Dropping it into a Alienware x51 case I have extra.

    Depending on where in Canada you are, your best bet is to take a look at kijiji. Granted, some people there will list items well past their value because they don't understand concepts like depreciation, but it's likely the easiest way to get your hands on an M11x.Doing it that way lets you haggle with the price as well as avoid shipping and/or import charges that would be present if you bought off ebay.

    You can also check ebay.com instead of ebay.ca and see if any of the US only sellers are willing to ship to Canada (ebay.ca only displays sellers from Canada and those that have shipping to Canada listed, but hides all others).

    EDIT2: asking my friend to win this for me since he lives in the us http://www.ebay.com/itm/Alienware-M11X-R2-computer-laptop/371165978192?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131017132637%26meid%3D4eb5fe7b6f1c4f2f9ec3f5c7d8c4fbb7%26pid%3D100033%26prg%3D20131017132637%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D371165978192

    You could just message the seller on ebay.com and ask if he would consider shipping to Canada.

    When I was shopping around for my m11x, most US sellers I contacted were willing to ship to Canada as long as I won the bid. Since you contacted the guy before bidding, there's a much better chance that he will be accommodating.
