- Waterluvian 7y agoThank you. I kept looking at Canakit and other sites. Buyapi.ca seems a bit better. I specced a 2GB, heat sinks, a case. Totals CAD $95 (13% tax and $11 shipping). My frustration is probably a combination of: - I get to listen to US prices being advertised all the time. "$45 for a 2GB!" and my brain loves to not do the conversion from USD to CAD. This is a longer rant for another time. - 13% freedom tax - Amazon has spoiled me with free shipping so $11 has some sticker price shock to ship a little box.
- strainer 7y agoThose bits and pieces are bodge-able. Have extra kudos for making do. Make a case out of recycled packaging materials or wood or mesh or whatever. Take a heatsink and little fan off an obsolete graphics card - cut it down to fit if necessary, tie it on with thread and use some old grease as thermal compound if necessary :)
