I recently made a purchase from ncix. Great place, extremely impressed with the packaging. I bought a couple oem drives, and they came in a larger box, with bubble wrap and packing popcorn. Absolutely no problems.

deal with NCIX all the time, have built two pc's worth of parts thru them, about 5 harddrives, 2 video cards, monitors and blank media.

Generally have solid prices, usually cheapest in canada, or near it. All in all a great, side had good luck with any need to warranty or return parts.

never dealt with tigerdirect, they're a fairly large wellknown company, i imagine they gotta be pretty solid.

Weird, i have found cheaper prices locally in Calgary through memoryexpress on the item's im looking for. I may go that route as i can have a good friend pick them up and send them to me. There will be no hassle this way. I really like the location of NCIX as i am currently living in BC as well. Thank's for the input guys, im looking to build yet again another pc.

Tiger Direct is a refurb warehouse basically the odd stuff might be brand new but 90% refurbs... Ncix I was going to buy a camera/dock bundle and they just dicked around with the sale, said it's verified and avail, then it wasn't.. then they had the camera in stock but would take 5-10business days to get it, then another 5-10 to get to me.. just said screw it and bought local.
