Hi everybody,
I'm getting a little curious. I live in a major US city
and we have quite a number of computer stores in my area (about 5). One in particular,
I mean this place is like computer heaven there are toys there that I have not even bothered or have had the time to tinker with. One item in particular and some of you may be familiar with it is a a digital amplifier that is the size of a cdrom drive and goes into an open bay. The front of it looks like my sterio for crying out loud and it sounded great price $68.00 It does hook up to the IdE don't ask me what it does lol. The walls
are lined with shelves loaded with anything from fans, cases, cables, keyboards ,mouse almost anything you can think of plus there is a glass case the length of a wall with used and new parts ig.. motherboards, cpu's, video cards. Then there is Comp USA which usually has any particular software that is on the market. Do you have stores like this in your area? Or do you rely on mail orders and long drives? What is it like getting what you need where you live?
