"pretty cheap" nah.. you aint gonna save money going from store to store anyway, best to buy mail order then you may save a smidgen. the people that work in Micro A are twats, I went in there with some question about buying 3 G5's for work and they couldn't even be arsed to spend 2 mins to answer a couple of easy questions.. retarded fucking *****.
Typical of Tott Ct road, dont deal with them robbing fucking asians.

Micro Anvika know fuck all about Macs, or anything else. Cancom are incompetent fuckwits, avoid like the plague.
I'd go mail order, Jigsaw have always been good when I've ordered from them. Never had a problem with them.
- rasko40
agreed, I've used them all and Jigsaw know what they're on about and get shit to you on time.

I know I'm on the wrong side of the water, but I'll give you guys a little tip.
Most computers have a very low profit margin. Sometimes as low as 5%. I work for a large computer retailer and I'm looking at our cost versus retail price on a G5 Dual 1.8GHz machine. Retail price is $1999.97, cost is about $183 less.
So when you do go out and buy, prices won't vary much. What will vary is what comes with the machine or what they're willing to throw in. So ultimately, you're going to want to concentrate on whoever wants to give you the most free RAM and who has the best service. Believe me, you WANT a service contract be it through Applecare or another company.

I usually buy mail order on smaller stuff...but when it comes to Powerbooks, I've usually found the Apple store is just as good (especially if you are buying other stuff and can negotiate a price)...plus you get some more configuration options not always available through resellers.

btw... why do so many people start SHOUTING when they mention a MAC?
It's just a Mac.

'buy' even - but don't make spelling mistakes on your order or they won't believe you've been educated.
