Sorry I forgot to put budget. Between CAD 1000 and 1200 I think. It's a bit low so we are looking for desktops. But if there is a great laptop deal we will take it too.

I'm OK with old stuffs but looks like manufacturers are not pushing them. Is there a website that is suitable for this kind of requirements?

Thank you!

That’s actually a very generous budget. With the requirements you have, I was expecting something in the 100-200 range!

For used gear, check out eBay, Kijiji and Facebook Marketplace. Old desktops will probably need to be dusted and re-pasted.

For new gear, a big box retailer like Best Buy might be your best bet because they’ll make warranty/support stuff easier for you.

If you want to try building one, Canada Computers, New Egg and Memory Express are the ones I hear about most often.
