CompUSA = Tigerdirect

They share the same parent company: Systemax.

Hence the similar websites.

Systemax bought CompUSA in January 2008.
 
Back from the dead: CompUSA assets snapped up by TigerDirect

CompUSA will live on, thanks to a deal with electronics marketer Systemax. Systemax, which owns popular computer parts reseller (and CompUSA competitor) TigerDirect, announced yesterday that it has entered into an agreement to purchase the CompUSA brand, trademarks, and e-commerce business. It also plans to acquire select assets and retail stores from the company, and says that it expects to close various parts of the deal throughout the first quarter of the year.
 
It all makes sense now, thanks just wanted to make sure I wasn't going crazy. I missed that bit of news back in Jan.
 
I always wanted to buy a few things from Tiger Direct. But living in NC, tiger direct charges shipping taxes here. FTL.

Did you miss all the CompUSA liquidation sales over the past few years? If so, so sad... there were good deals. I was hoping they would do a final liquidation in Jan, but damn TD had to snatch 'em before the liquidation got too cheap to refuse! :(
