Microcenter is amazing, if you live nearby. $50 off on M/B if buying CPU, $20 off memory kit, half of the usual tax NJ. Win Win Win.Microcenter COMBO deals for the WIN !!
Unfortunately, Newegg is about my only option in Orlando. I am stuck with Best Buy if I need something immediately.
Another nail in the coffin - they've closed two Will Call locations in Indiana and New Jersey. The California location is going to close real soon. I used to live 10 minutes away from one and it was really convenient to pick up a bulky stuff like a monitor or a computer case there. Not anymore. Hopefully Amazon would do the opposite and open a pick up location nearby, it seems like they've built a bunch of warehouses around.
Tigerdirect got bought out by PCM, and Newegg is owned by a Chinese company now... (Liason Interactive bought a majority stake, a bit over 55%). Amazon, well, just about everything on Amazon is Chinese or from a Chinese seller. Not saying it's good or bad, just an observation (generalized of course).What about TigerDirect? I ordered my entire 4790k rig from them in 2014 and it shipped from Florida. Haven't checked them out in quite some years though... Unless you mean you use newegg for in store pickup, they used to offer that in Edison, NJ, but I believe it was stopped.
Newegg is complete trash now with the marketplace. My dad ordered an SLI bridge from "them" and it never came, that's when we learned Newegg wasn't Newegg anymore.

Honestly with how shitty their serach is for computer parts and the load of 3rd party sellers on Amazon it such a pita to build a computer using them.Amazon doesn't deliver to Orlando?

LOL and I thought I was the only one that did that.Newegg is Amazon’s best search engine - search for parts on Newegg and then paste part numbers in Amazon search.

One thing I think, missed here was, Tigerdirect is dead... The tigerdirect that exists now has no real link to the old tigerdirect as far as I know. They liqudated everything shut down the site, than re-launched under new ownership same as compusa and circuit city(same company). Newegg on the other hand was just bought, it never ceased operations just changed ownership. I think Frys and Microcenter are the only real computer chains left, and those are really tied to where you live.
Jealous, lol. Closest microcenter is 3+ hours... In store only sales are great, but I have no reasonable access to your store.This isn't hard to overcome and it's VASTLY better than Best Buy, which is what the comment I was replying to.
Newegg powersearch is the shit. No doubt about it. I do the same damn thing.
I grew up in LA with Fry's earlier on in Manhatten Beach and then later in Burbank. (they are now reportedly going to start closing stores.) Then I went to college in Miami so I was exposed to Tigerdirect, I was honestly never impressed with them. I've lived in the Dallas area for over a decade now, and Microcenter has only gotten better and better. So happy to be near one.

Newegg or Amazon, whichever is cheaper. Best Buy for emergencies thanks to them price matching Newegg/Amazon. Living in the midwest means no Microcenter.

Unfortunately there are none located in Iowa. The state could be too rural for them to invest here. I could see Cedar Rapids or Des Moines getting stores, but that's a 1-2 hour drive from where I live.I live in the Midwest and just visited a Microcenter.
If only everybody had a Microcenter "1-2 hours drive" away from them. I'd happily take a 1-2 hour road trip for computer parts.Unfortunately there are none located in Iowa.

Yeah, closest one to me is about 3.5 hours each way, that's with no traffic... Which is almost never. So, more like 4+ hours each way.A little less than two weeks ago I took a trip to Microcenter (about 2 hour one way) to get a new motherboard, CPU and RAM since my ancient socket 775 motherboard died. Even counting gas and very high sales tax where the Microcenter was located I still saved quite a bit of money on those items making that trip. My son also made out well as he ended up buying the same motherboard, CPU and RAM combo and built his first system from that trip as well.
I haven't bought anything at all from newegg in years. Once they were bought out that was enough for me to stop buying there and the company was already going downhill regarding prices and service before the buyout.

It's sad, I know a few people from Illinois and that lament how the city of Chicago is ruining the whole state.Yeah, I've got one within that range, but it's in Illinois. Between the gas, tolls, and sales tax, it doesn't make any sense to shop there.
No more Yay for Texas after this month. This is what I get now if I go to Newegg's site:

So for me, there is no advantage that Newegg has over Amazon or Microcenter. Bye Newegg, it was fun.
Living in Chicago is awesome. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯It's sad, I know a few people from Illinois and that lament how the city of Chicago is ruining the whole state.
Damn man, she got the Microcenter in the divorce?This is indeed sad. I lost my proximity to a well stocked Microcenter due to divorce so Newegg was what I assu7med I'd be using now. Guess not in light of this.

There is a Microcenter in Westmont as well. Don't have to go to Chicago for MC.It's sad, I know a few people from Illinois and that lament how the city of Chicago is ruining the whole state.
