Default Help: Looking for a particular workstation/server PC builder in the NE

Hey guys,

I picked up a couple of PCs that a client had ordered once, and I'm trying to remember the name of the place. It's in the NE, but they're not a computer store. When you walk in, it looks very much like a regular office with a reception and side offices, etc. The difference, of course, is that they custom-build office workstation PCs (and servers).

My interest in them is that I want to be able to order some server parts, and I want to deal with people who know what they're doing since there's always a potential of extremely costly mistakes with the server stuff. I know about MemEx, but I want to add another company to my Rolodex... as it were.

I haven't given a whole lot to work with, I know, but I'm hoping someone here might know the name of the place. I can't even remember where the heck it was... I think it was somewhere off either Barlow or Edmonton trail...

Edit: Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure they cater strictly to businesses, so this wouldn't be a well-known resource for home users (if that helps).

Is it Evans Consoles? Sorry if I'm way off base here.

My buddy works at Mainland which is just off Barlow. Not sure if this is the spot but thought it might fit the bill.

Hmm... Mainland doesn't sound familiar and I've heard of Evans, but they build actual workstations, as opposed to workstation PCs. Thanks for the responses though! This is like trying to remember the name of a song that I've heard a few times before, except with much more on the line.
