    they have just introduce S270 in Canada few weeks ago. Not sure if there is dealer for that but you can contract CanadaComputers and ask them to order a unit for u. If that is what u are looking.

    Just got mine off rawpowerpc.com. Very happy, great price and service. In Canada, you can only get the 270, not 1013. This means you have to buy it with all the crappy parts inside. I got a 1013, with major upgrades for a bout the same price at rawpower!

    There are no duties on computers, laptops, or computer components brought into Canada from ANY other country. You'll still pay PST ang GST though.

    Try contacting Supercom.ca, they were nice enough to reply to me with two local supplier in the Ottawa region. I don't want to mention them since they are small business and may not ever be able to help you, but it seem like they are the only main stream supplier that actually replied to me with something useful.

    I tried :
    Supercom.ca
    Daiwa Distribution Inc.
    Eprom Computer Systems
    ASI Canada

    And Supercom was the only one that came back with some thing helpful.....

    In the end I ordered from the US since I know it would be cheaper for me. Also I ordered it by part not assembled.

    I called custom to find out and got the reference number. Did not check it online, but I believe the guy. Just wish I had the number in front of me.
    If you really need to know or don't believe/trust me (as most people should not trust information on a forum as 100% true), call them:

    1-800-461-9999 - Works any were in Canada only....
    http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/contact/menu-e.html#t

    They seem a bit cold and not expect a thank you from you, but they are straight forward with their information.
