Alright, so this Home Office PC (which I talked about last week) is coming a little bit closer to reality. I appreciated your help and would have loved to take your advice guys… but being from the windswept glacial regions of the North (Canada), NewEgg was not an option for me. I went with TigerDirect, and below is my shopping list.

To find out how much I paid for each item and to understand why I picked some elements rather than others, hit the link at the bottom of this article.
Also, you might notice there’s no keyboard, mouse or webcam. I could have bought these right away, but I’ll wait for the mail-in rebates. I got my own for now.
Don't mean to throw a wrench in your cogs, but uhh, http://www.newegg.ca.
NewEgg is available in Canada. TigerDirect is probably pretty competitively priced, though. That, and I've noticed that Newegg.ca doesn't carry the same stock, it's mostly the same, but they're missing a lot as well.
Ahhaha That's awesome. Well, the order's been made, and it wasn't too expensive. Now I know.
