Thinking of switching to a more subtle computer speakers setup. I don't utilize my surround system as much as I like, looking to gift that to my cousin.

Debating between the cheap Edifier E10 or Bose Companion 20. Price difference is like $100.....

Kingsgate, Broadway and Laurel, Main and 17th, Fraser and 29th, Kingsway and Nanaimo were the ones I called/checked and they had electronics when I was looking for a PS4 Pro and they had it. I assume they also have other electronics not sure about the google mini though.

This TV seems to be a hot ticket item as it's for sale everywhere. But it's now sold out / back-ordered at most places. It's the same price at all locations (well Costco was $2 cheaper)

The key is to look for it at 'lesser known' vendors

I picked up this set to replace my old 55" in the living room and holy crap, that extra 20 inches makes a huge difference!

The screen's not as bright as some of the more expensive sets but once it's calibrated properly it's a very nice picture.

25% off, 25 CAD shipped and these IEM's review well. With a cable upgrade, these are on par with units 10 times the price.

There's a $79 Samsung one at Costco, didn't catch the model. But that might be 2X your budget.

I need a graphics card to replace my aging radeon 6670. Looking at the gtx 1050. Is that a good bang for the buck ? I don't need ape shit stats just enough to play falcon 4.0 BMS 4.33 and skyrim remastered

Memory express has one for 169
