Bestbuy always has deals on desktops tho. You should check out the laptops I would go that route for now if you can find more bang for your buck

They would have to get new power circuits installed, possibly a bigger cage, etc.

My haul so far:
NCIX:
Eagle Tech ET-CS2MU2-BK 2.5IN IDE to USB Black MESH External Enclosure USB 2.0
$10.99 - US$10 Rebate
Have an old 80GB IDE laptop drive sitting around, so will have a nice extra portable drive for just a couple bucks.
MemoryExpress:
MLG Mini Sports Video Camera
$18.88
Patriot Signature Flash microSDHC Card, Class 4, 8GB w/ Adapter
$9.99
Spur of the moment purchase. Neat little camera that comes with three different mounts so you can easily clip it onto your visor in your car, on your helmet, or many other places.
NewEgg:
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F4 HD204UI 2TB 5400 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
$89.99 - 15% Cashback
Way better user experience reviews than any of the Seagate or WD 2TB drives. Seems like this drive is only sold in the US for some reason, but fortunately it's available through NewEgg Canada.

Cambie, Burnaby and Lansdowne locations are the busiest so you'll want to go there earlier.
The ones out in Surrey will probably have less people.
