You might be able to find cheaper prices elsewhere. I rarely buy everything from only one website.

Techrific.com has free shipping, for instance.

Very good price for the graphics card.
I bought one down here, and I was looking at that and it was $100 more, CAD. I bought a different one though.

It's OK, but I'd check out some other websites also...

No offense, but could you not use my username? It gets me rather confused.
