In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

This is a good example of what a brick'n'mortar store SHOULD charge for parts. Maybe a bit cheaper in Toronto because that website's based in Halifax so it costs a bit more to ship there.

Let me explain...
Outlet: 512 MB DDR-SDRAM $50
Future Shop: 512 MB DDR-SDRAM $200
I'll let you do the math
Also, cruise by Collage St. Hundreds of computer stores there.
Hope this helps mate!

Yea -- futureshop marks up because the computer shops buy bulk and futureshop buys market products (box, manual, etc.). Computer shops get just the components in a crate from some warehouse -- there was a time when I had access to that supply warehouse. Now I've moved though.
