    I have decided to purchase the GE60, but I do not need a i7 processor nor the GTX660m. The i5-2450 with GT 650m is enough for me. I have found places like xoticpc that has exactly what I need (i5-2450 + GT 650m with no OS for 836+ tax). But UPS shipping to canada is going to cost a whopping 125 dollar premium. I can't find any places in Canada that sells the barebones version. Every place Ive looked sells the i7 version + GTX 650/660m for 1100+. Does anyone know a place in Canada where they sell the MS 16GA? Or should I accept the 956 dollar i5+GT 650m? It's still cheaper by about 150 dollars then newegg.

    thanks

    I am looking for the same thing. I can't seem to find anything in Canada. The best price so far is at rkcomputers (820$). But add the shipping to this and your better buying a complete system from a Canadian retailer.
