Blue Ruler, talk to me before your friend does anything. PM or ICQ please. We Canucks have some great options and there are some good places in BC to deal with as well as other parts of Canada.

All I know of this company is that they originate out of British Columbia
and are fairly new. They have a snazzy computer the size of a Soccer
Ball Box that's loaded called the e-Cube or something along the lines.
it's based on the Via Chipset. Talk about a small Mofo MB.

Want to see SMALL ?

Update to this posting, "Dave Chalk.com's forum" has endorsed this company and it is based in British Columbia, Canada. Prices are good "canadian funds", also heard the tech service is good.

Here is the link for your info:http://www.discoverycomputers.com/

Hi blue,

I looked at the systems and prices looked ok but there was one thing that I noticed. All the hard drives were 5400 rpm. I dont undersatnd why they would build new computers with hard drives that slow. I would suggest your friend ask is the motherboard they use suports ata133 and if it does request that they install a 7200rpm ata133 drive in his machine.
