What ppl are saying to you is that since you live in North America you can get standard cases and powersupplies and memory cards super super cheap.  Since you are in Canada you may have a real severe problem with Canadian Taxes from importing a product.   Canadian Government is very evil and they search most items coming into the country and charge you a giant tax for being evil and buying stuff (their opinion, not mine).  They don't like you to buy electronics from "evil" foreign countries so they punish you for it.


I am in Canada.  When I bought my SAM440 I checked the applicable laws.  There were no import duties on "computer parts" but there were on fully assembled computers.  I bought the SAM motherboard & OS4 CD from AmigaKit and found everything else locally.  I was not charged import duties.

I don't remember what year that was... maybe 2009?  I don't know if the rules have changed.

I would suggest that AmigaClassicRule checks the current laws.  Probably they haven't changed and he could buy just the FPGA Replay from Europe and pay no duties on it, and get all the other bits and pieces in Canada.
