Are there no good B&M computer stores in the USA?

[Geforcekj]

I'm in Vancouver, BC and most of the ma 'n' pa hole in the wall computer stores have as good or better pricing than any online site... Maybe we're just lucky here... I know CD's in Vancouver are suposed to be the cheapest in the world. It's hard to find any new release for over $13cdn here...

We got u beat in Edmonton, our CDs for like $12cdn.

but then again i'd rather live in the US, and if u wanna see a good B&M comp. store goto Fry's in So. Cal., 3 words: O M G!

Fry's is that not a big chain? = big markup? = cost lots?

I dunno...

Fry's has the occasional good deal but a lot of their stuff is priced the same as a Best Buy/Circuit City/CrapUSA. And yes, there are no good B&M computer stores in the US

Comp USA = Future Shop = Best Buy
yeah that's what I figured...

Yeah, you can't really build a computer at Fry's but they've got *awesome* deals on a couple components all the time. I guess you could put together a whole computer at a good price in a couple months just waiting for each individual hot deal to come up.

At least Fry's sells componenets at decent prices, as long with other neat electronics stuff. Plus, Fry's has excellent stores

I love Fry's!

Yo,
There's a B&M Chinese restaurant around the corner from my office, coincidentally, in SF.
