If I missed anything post a reply to this thread & I'll add your updates.

genitech computers sells zalman flower, heat pipe and heatsinks

http://www.genitechcomputers.com/parts-cpu.shtml

autodeletepro has a quiet cooling section, but unfortunately it isn't up yet

http://www.autodeletepro.com/quietcool.html

The Mutepc web site listed above is the French version, with no link to the English, which can however be found at:

www.mutepc.net

actually, if you maximize your window, there will either be a "FR" pr "EN" link to toggle between English and French sites at the top right.

New Type Computers http://www.ntcw.com/ now carries Seasonic 300W and 400W PSUs. I hear (from the horse's mouth) they are bringing in Nexus PSUs and HS soon as well.

www.ncix.ca carries Zalman gear and maybe some other silent stuff.

http://www.vibecomputers.com

Panaflo, Zalman, Papst, Thermalright, Seagate, Antec, etc.

Memory Express in Calgary (www.memoryexpress.com) has a good assortment of Panaflo fans and various heatsinks at their store. See my post in this forum.

I think the link should be http://www.ncix.com shouldn't it? The .ca link does not seem to be valid.

VibeComputers got more then just Thermalright heatsinks now.

1) Zalman (CPU coolers, heatpipe, fan bracket, Power supplies but on back-order)
2) Swiftech (MCX462+ heatsink and some watercooling stuff)
3) Panaflo 80mm L1A (92mm and 120mm are supposedly coming in)

www.canadacomputers.com now has some zalman gear

Harry Azol wrote:www.canadacomputers.com now has some zalman gear

and now they've added a QUIET PC parts page.
http://www.canadacomputers.com/quiet.html

NCIX.com added Thermalright heat sinks and also have Antec cases and Vantec products.

La centrale informatique has standard/black Evercase chassis at decent prices. Also carries Antec and Vantec.

CIPC (no online ordering yet, phone and store only) has Antec, Asaka, Panaflo, Papst, Vantec, Zalman. They also do custom mods.

http://www.lux-design.com
panaflow and thermalright.

http://www.bytewizecomputers.com
Sparkle

http://www.shoprbc.com
Zalman

http://www.atoponline.com
Zalaman

http://www.ajump.ca/
Evercase ECE4252

MutePC now carries Noiseblocker fans - 80mm S1,2,3,4:

http://www.pcmuet.net/product_info.asp?iPID=375

If you check the threads, I don't think these are going to beat Panaflo's, but may be worth a try.

Vibe Computers now has the Papst 120mm fan (55.9cfm, 30dBa).

http://www.vibecomputers.com/index.cfm? ... vID=191106

$28, which is a pretty good price I think for a Papst (it's cheaper then most 120mm fans at other stores)

http://www.mycableshop.ca/

Enermax 120mm Adjustable fan, misc. case parts, looks kinda expensive.

autodeletepro links upthread are invalid. The right one is http://www.adpmods.com

They now have 80mm Panaflo L1A fans for $9.95, 3-pin tail included.

They also carry 120mm aluminum Evercools (discussed here) for $22.

NCIX now carries:

- Ahanix Silenx 14 dB and Seasonic Super Silencer/Tornado PSU's
- Papst and Panaflo fans
- Thermalright HSF

This list is incomplete without Canadian Tire

part #41-9333-6
TrimBrite Door Edge Molding
Cars, Vans & Light Trucks
Silver Colour

I used it to trim 120mm fan hole in my Antec 3700AMB, after I cut out the stamped fan grill. The moulding fitted perfectly. It's flexible and self-adhering.

$4

Two+ years later.... added some pictures.

Door edge molding:



Trimmed fan hole:

Thanks for that info Elliot! Just what I've been seeking! (well, one of them, anyway...)

Note that it's made of vinyl. It's flexible, but not soft. If you want to completely decouple the fan from the case, you have to figure out how to mount the fan so that it doesn't touch the moulding.

www.e-compuvision.com and www.bigfootcomputers.com now have some zalman stuff

I thought this would be worth a mention. And I just bought my Barracuda 120GB w/8MB buffer a week ago? Bloody #!@$!

I discovered Computer Link Systems sells Evercase 4252 without PSU for reasonable prices:

<http://www.computerlinksystems.com/>

Unfortunately for me, they're located in Ontario.

It just means you don't have to pay PST. You will have to pay to get it shipped, of course...

Bigfoot now carries SilenX Power Supplies and Fans. From their website Signa Computers in Scarbourgh look like they carry 80 and 120mm Acoustifans. On a word of caution I have had a bad experience with Signa and an RMA for a motherboard.

BigfootComputers Aluminum fans are Evercool's, as per an email to their sales department.

Lux-design is on their way out of business and currently offering a 30% discount on everything left in stock.
