    Does anyone know of any stores that sell and let you customize the C90S? I've been looking at Gentech but I have no experiance with them, would anyone recommend Gentech? or maybe some other store? Thanks

    Yup, infonec has the best price (the combo).

    If a C90S from gentech isn't charged duty at the border. that's definetely the best option (GDDR3 8600 FTW).

    And 1USD=0.992CAD right now :)

    Thanks for the replies. Just one more thing and I'm sure this has been asked many times but how much exactly are the extra fees to ship something across the border to canada?

    Extra fees= not worth it imo. Or at least not worth taking the risk.
