    The nerds haven’t hung out at best buys in years. They’re a glorified appliance store now.

    Last time I went into one for a computer part, they had 3 colors of the same case fan and two different GPUs, and that was it.

    Now MicroCenter, that’s where it’s at.

      Where is there one? I know of one north of Atlanta and one in Dallas. There just ain’t one in Washington

        There’s 1 in most major cities. I love Micro Center to death, but I sincerely doubt that most Americans live within 20 or 30 minutes of one.

        Yeah, west coast is a bit barren for micro center. One in LA, one in SF (when they open). I have 3 in my state (Ohio) but their headquarters is also here so shrug
