    I'd go with 1toppc (aka, gentechPC) by far the best customer service I've had when buying any product.

    You missed the word "Canada". You gotta add 6% exchange rate, 2~5% bank profit on exchange rate, ridiculous shipping (~$120) and 8~15% border tax.

    Cheapest in Canada from a reputable website: http://www.infonec.com/site/main.php?module=detail&id=449909

    When looking in Canada, try www.shopbot.ca

    I've dealt with Infonec for over 2 years now ... purchasing 2 Asus laptops and other PC stuff. Although I've never ordered online (in store pickup only) I've never had a problem with the quality of the merchandise or their customer support.

    Also, you may want to check out NCIX. ( http://ncix.com) I've dealt with them for over 3 years now ... and never had a problem either. Plus NCIX doesn't charge PST. (They're located in BC)

    Good luck.
