“RB Computing Inc. is a 100% Canadian-owned supplier of custom-built computer solutions which has been in active operation since 1996.” They are located in Ottawa. Orders can be placed on-line. These orders are extensively customizable. I have purchased numerous desktop and server grade computers without any OS installed. Their sales staff are very helpful, as they are used to catering to corporate customers’ specific needs and whims. A+ service.
