Re: Newegg coming to Canada!!!
said by Stewy  :said by The Flash :Crazy brokerage fees when shipping across borders. you have to ship it UPS Expedited they do absolutely everything in one pre-paid price with no surprises. dennilfloss is here  small world That would be a deal-breaker for me. If I'm going have to pay extra for shipping to avoid brokerage, then any potential savings they could offer disappear. |

said by dirtyjeffer :said by DKS :Nope. is that a custom built rig? the mobo in my comp doesn't appear to be designed as well in terms of placement of connectors etc (thinking about future upgrades). a few of the connection jacks for my sata drives are in the place such a long card would go, whereas it doesn't appear you have anything in the way to install such a large card. Yes. It's a Coolermaster Elite 330 case with an ASUS P5Q-PRO mobo.
