Use a forwarding service, most sellers do free shipping in the states.

Pay the fee to use the service, pay taxes.

Avoid any massive brokerage charges.

The shipping cost alone US to Canada cost more.

If your in the GTA send me a pm. I can send you a referral. They have 8 locations for pickup iirc

Bang on, the mini pc crowd is funny.

Power consumption isn't black and white, because you have completely different feature sets.

I agree I wouldn't grab any dell under an X30 at this point and def go with a v4, that being said if you find a good deal on a v3, a v4 upgrade is like $20 for something around a 2680

Just swap to a dell HBA, they are dirt cheap

Screw dell and the X40, the cooling profile makes no sense.

Thanks Dell, I really need my cpus to be at 27c...
