There are about 5 stores in the area that I frequent. In no particular
order:

Filtech (SE corner on spadina at college)
Alpha Plus (SW corner on college at spadina)
Sonnam (NE corner on spadina at college)
Canada Computers (N side of college about 1.5 blocks west of bathurst).

There's one other that I only know by sight, either Fortune (which I
doubt) or COMing computers. I can't remember. I've also visited
PC4Canada just south of Filtech and met with excellent service and prices.
