I bet it would take bloody ages to fill that HDD using only the CD-ROM drive.

haha seriously? I figured it was the oposite. Good case, not so good hardware. I guess I'm just used of hearing about everyone going 64-bit except for me since I can't afford it. The case looks crappy in pictures though, my camera sucks when there's too much light in one spot.

Here's a better pic (older) but again the lights look like crap because of the camera, but the rest is clearer. The only thing I need though is wire covers, but they're too expensive then they're worth. Later on I might make a modding spree order to one of my suppliers. One of my lights seems like it wants to burn out, so if it does I'm going to make everything UV reactive and put UV lights.

The case is OK. and i also can't afford a 64 Bit system with an Amd 64 Clocked at 3.5+ ghz

Not to worry, I get jealous too when I hear of people buying stuff for under 100.

FACT: EVERYTHING computer-related in Canada is over 100 bucks. What is over 100 in the US is over 1000 here. That's basically the rule of thumb.

Hey Squirrel, Sin..peep this.....
Ordered a motherboard from Cellar computers. It was defective when I got it. Sent it back. Forgot to send the back plate, that little metal piece that your ports, usb, cards etc come out of, and they said they wouldn't send my money back untill I sent back the plate. Those buggers. That plate couldn't have been worth anymore than $1.00.

That

sucks, but that's the way the interweb businesses work, I guess.

You should come here and write up a review for them:

Many web companies take this place seriously. For instance, I buy most of my crap at www.allstarshop.com, which has a very high rating here.

I'm just hoping that our dollar going up will have some kind of affect on electronic economy. I can't see how though, since the insane pricing here does not really have to do with the exchange rate, much. There's some Canadian sites that have good pricing, like Tiger Direct. I never dealt with them though I'd have to try, and maybe they even offer wholesale accounts. I don't really like ordering retail if I have the license to order wholesale, since I don't have to pay taxes when it's wholesale.

Edit: woah! I really need to look into tiger direct I just notice they offer same day shipping! Most of my suppliers I have to wait like a week, sometimes months if they have to backorder an item.
