computer city still around?

[Skiddex]

so i am in copenhagen, denmark this semester and taking the train, i saw a computer city! i havent seen one of those in the states in 6 or 7 years. I bought my first computer part there, a 5gb western digital hard drive for $150! anyone know if they are only in europe now?

You mean the one by Nordhavn Station? I live about 100m from it

The Computer City that was near me in Salt Lake, UT was bought out by CompUSA.

No more Computer Sh!tty here in SoCal. yay!

im not sure exactly where it is, i think its between Hellerup and Osterport on the green line train. i live right by Kokkedel station, so i take that train into copenhagen all the time. so then i guess there arent any left in the states, i assume that they died out were aquired

Yeah, they were bought out by CompUSA years ago.

I remember buying my first 28.8 modem there. Major upgrade from my 2400 baud.

 

[kami333]

Yeah, that would be Nordhavn. I remember being suprised too when I saw it, haven't been in it yet though.

I've been up to Kokkedal a couple of times, nice area but out of the way. What are you studying in Denmark? Are you doing an exchange program with KU or CBS?

CompUSA bought em out in my area

Same here.

My first "real" computer was purchased from Computer City on credit.

Paid $1,400 for an Apple Performa 630CD with 14" monitor, bling bling bling!

Bought my first mouse from them. Went well with my brand spanking new 486 dx4 100. Never needed a mouse with my previous computers
