cspizz Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 I know the OCC has a great list of sites to order all kinds of supplies from, but I've been looking for a good brick-and-mortar retailer for PC building. I have a CompUSA near me, and some other similar places, but they never have a wide selection of the parts I'm looking for. They may have a few HDDs on one shelf and opticals on another but are more interested in selling prebuilt units, monitors, printers (and ink $$$), Plasma/LCD TVs, etc. Does anyone know of a retail store (local or otherwise) that caters strictly (or at least mainly) to enthusiasts?

I go to Frys sometimes, we also have a microcenter in Houston... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 I live about 2 miles away from tigerdirect. They have lots of good stuff there. Good motherboards, good cpus gpus mobos etc etc, and great deals too. I almost picked up a 9800 GX2 for 400 but I want a GTX 280 when it comes out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
exeter_acres Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 Frys or Microcenter.... but you better know what you are looking for because the "employees" won't Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cspizz Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 I didn't know TigerDirect had actual stores, but I see they're mainly in Florida. I also don't have a Fry's near me, but it looks like there's a Microcenter in Maryland, New Jersey, and Philly (I'm in Delaware, so I'm surrounded by these). Thanks for the help.
