    Great... so that means we're down to like 3 places in the city that actually know what they're talking about?

    I hate dealing with box stores for cpu stuff!

    They were until people figured out memory express was pretty much across the street.

    Memory Express is great, Cbit has always felt like a dingy warehouse of shit. Glad they are closing - I've never gotten useful information from any of their staff, whereas anyone from Memory Express seems more than happy to help and shoot the shit about whatever computer related need you have.

    The place has gone down a lot since I was last there. Walked in, looked around and walked out without any acknowledgement from their staff.

    I haven't been back to that place in 4 years, several bad DOA parts and terrible customer service. and getting accused of shoplifting with no proof.

    Memoryexpress price beats canadian competition by %25 of the difference. I can almost guarantee that you can get a better price at ME than you could at cbit even with a discount. @ OP where did you get your info from?

    Not true for special discounts, I get my parts at cost +10%, MemoryExpress won't honor that. It needs to be a public noted discount, IE newspaper savings, shelf ticket price, etc.

    Good ridance. Memory Express is where it's at. I never went back to CBIT again after trying to return/exchange a video card that I brougth home and found was DOA when i installed it. I put a screw mark on the metal tabduring the install and that's the reason they were giving me a hard time.... and no exchange. Later losers.
