Soyo Motherboard are crap, you can get better ones for less. That's not the same case and not the same power supply. You don't get that keyboard/mouse combo. <a href=../autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=151 target=_blank>TigerDirect's</a> prices suck.

ASRock K7S41GX SiS (http://www.anitec.ca/?mode=product_detail&pid=1541&mcid=31) 48.95

ACT Generic 17" Tower w/350w PS (http://www.anitec.ca/?mode=product_detail&pid=1708) 25.95

Impression Wireless keyboard and Optical mouse Combo (http://www.anitec.ca/?mode=product_detail&pid=607&mcid=14) 29.95

Total = 104.85

You can find prices like this at any computer store, so no need to pay for shipping and duty.

*edit*

ACER AIRKEY WIRELESS KB (WHITE) W/MOUSE (http://www.compusky.com/compushop/product_info.php?cPath=8&products_id=633) 14.95

Total comes to around $90. And you're getting onboard video with the motherboard.

*edit #2*

Take off about $3 if you don't want onboard video
ASRock K7VT4A+ (http://www.canadasys.com/part.htm#Main%20Board) 46

So the total is now at around $87.

i would say this is a half decent deal, but Im sure shipping and duties will kill it. Nice try though.

Well, the thing is you can find those cheap prices at ANY local small computer shop. Whether it's Canada Computers, or PC Village, etc. So why bother posting all the details? :)
