Are there seriously no alternatives to memory express for good selection and prices of computer parts? As much as I like to order off NCIX and Newegg, I really wish there were more options in Calgary.

Memex never has close to the same selection as those two and often inferior prices. Entire product ranges and brands will disappear at times from Memex when they choose to stop carrying or ordering something for awhile.

I remember there was a hilarious time when the store called Memory Express basically only had 2 brands of RAM in stock.

There used to be BCOM computers across the street from Memex and I used to like their surprise specials but they went out of business in Calgary.

I don't hesitate to pay the extra $10 or so in shipping to NCIX, Direct Canada, Newegg, etc. especially with the weekly deals they have (Memex never has sales like these except during grand openings), but it would be nice to have a better selection of larger items.
