i would also like to add PC Village Canada

Lighting Suppliers: Check your local yellowpages under "Lighting suppliers" These are speciality stores that sell nothing but Light bulbs. I went to Homedepot and a gentleman there suggested me this. I called a few places from the yellowpages for a quote and got my stuff from:

Litemore Lighting - 1290 Old Innes Rd.

The smaller 400W MH bulb, ballast and socket cost me CDN $163 including Taxes.

You can do the same thing for the tempered glass as well.

Thanks for the link. Their prices are very good. One item I was interested in that costs $475 in the US in US$s was listed at $498Cdn. Where's the best parking around there ?

[Mike-S]

yeha hey, i use to be named water-pyro, but the new login thing made me change it...

i go to the place in scarbrough and its a part of a mini mart so it has its own parking lot. I assume your asking about one of there other location, i have no idea

[KingOfSwords]

There is another PC Village on Yonge south of Bloor that I go to all the time...200gig drives are really cheap! They can get the N6 for $245 when I asked them to check for me.

The link sent me directly to the Yonge below Eglington location. I wasn't aware they had other locations. I'd be driving in from the west anyway.

Hello, Everyone

I went intoday and found out that a reduced jacket Metal Halide bulb made by venture is 39.00 and a ballast to run it is 69.99 canadian.

As well they can get any product that is manufactured by Venture.
www.venturelighting.com

I looked through some of the specs an they look like they have everything that we would need

[cjab]

any one in the calgary area, theres going to be an auction with many electronics.

100 computers
25 lcd monitors ranging from 15"-19"
many printers, scanners,pdas,speakers etc...

the best part is the monitors though!

Blah, I had the address and more info but I seem to have misplaced it. Anyways its next saturday. They don't have any specs for the monitors on there website (will post when i find it). But you can go on friday before the auction to view everything.

They should all be brand new aswell.

Canadians looking for reflectors, Look on further, go to a HOMESENSE near you and look in the cookware section, and find the GrunWerg Mixing Bowls.

They are 180 spherical work great.

Both for BT28, and the BT38

There are a few sizes of bowls so weather your using a small or large bulb your set.

Got mine for 9.50 Tax in

bad link plus there out of stock

[Loki440]

just came across this http://www.anitec.ca...detail&pid=1413

Benq FP557SB-V2 but who knows about the ffc as some of the older ones had problems but for $350 and those specs its worth a try plus if you buy before the 30th of sept canadain esedents can send away for a $50 mail in rebate so that brings it down to $300 and thats canadian

i think i might do this as im having a hard time finding a cheap good monitor

[Loki440]

i also agree with mariachi and dr bev as i picked my self up one of the bowls today too it came to $7.48CND and measures 4 inchs tall by 8 inches across(well the smaller one anyways

[Skanmyth]

If anyone know where I can get a "attic fan thermostat" in Toronto?

[KingOfSwords]

Would these things not be available at Home Depot or Canadian Tire?

[DR_BEV]

not here in Sudbury Ontario (4 hours north of T.O) gonna have to check with a furnace repair place. they should have some i would imaging.

[Skanmyth]

I checked Home Depot, Home hardware and couple of local electrical stores one electrical store he said he can get that for me will cost me CND$70.00

I will try Canadian Tire to see if they have.
