I've bought a few items over the past two years, personally I'd avoid 
Factory Direct - slow service, seems to sell a lot of refurbished stuff 
(they sell everything from computers to garden lights). The place I 
bought my last computer closed about 4 weeks after I bought it- good 
thing it still works as well as when I bought it, but then again, it's 
all off the shelf parts, so I don't expect too many problems. The best 
thing about the area is there are literally 10 stores in 10 minutes 
walking distance so you can walk down one side then the other comparing 
prices, that's what I've done last time I've bought computers (desktop 
and laptop).

BTW: there's a new place, just opened in the last month, 
www.jumbocomputers.ca near Kensington Market (Augusta St.?) and College 
that looks nice - looks like  part of the store is is going to be an 
Internet cafe - with bubble tea too :)
