They closed down the one around me a few years back. Even in center city Philadelphia now there're no computer hardware stores now. Unless of course you count the Mac store....

People can't seem to compete with big retail chains and online sellers nowadays.

That's sad, they were so much better than Bad Buy.

 

[EvilSpock]

yep and they did not push you into the extended warranties like BB.

Too bad for CompUSA. Then again I never did get any good service from them when I visited their store in my city.

yeah but like 1 in 4 customers need it. i just went to comp today and i believe they had a bfg 8800 gt for 249.99.

Agreed. The selection is/was a lot better then what best buy had for when you needed something quick.

the folks that work @ the ones here were all knowledgable and cool to deal with. They were not pushy and lying to make a sale like at BB. I think what hurt comp was putting in too much money into the home thearter stuff
