Watching this thread. I've been LOST ever since Fry's fell apart. :(
Microcenter is great, especially for nerds. Sucks if one isn't close, but they ship.
They don't ship anything that matters. Key parts like CPU's, GPU's, mobos, hard nope.
Yup. 30 something processors in the website, 3 available in store. I love that microcenter has replaced Fry's (smaller stores that i don't get an anxiety attack going to) but the shipping is crap and you have to wait for parts to come back in stock.
In their defense, I believe a lot of their shipping rules changed during the crypto/covid/AI shortages of the past few years to prevent scalpers from vacuuming up their supply. They limited a lot of the big ticket items to in-store only specifically so you couldn't order them from Timbuktu and resell them.
Which, props to them, respect. But holy crap does it make them useless as a retailer unless you're one of the lucky fucks who lives within a 2 hour drive of one.
I really wish that there wasn't just the one in Tustin for the entire state of California. The Bay Area would seem like a no-brainer for a Micro Center but no such luck.
that sucks. there is one 20 min from me, the the second is roughly 45 min. east coast baby!
I don't think there's one in my entire state
My best buys were always at fry’s.
And if you wanted delicious fries, your best buy was not at Best Buy but rather Five Guys Burgers and Fries.
