Nearest MC is 25 miles from me. Bought my mobo and CPU combo Sept 2012, saved about $125 compared to Newegg, after tax.
Here and there their might be a specific item on Sale.
Otherwise, their prices are higher than the Online stores like NewEgg.
I would Not Drive 40 miles to and another back unless I see on their online site a specific item that I need and it is Deeply Discounted.
There is a Micocenter 40 minutes away from me (I can make it in 25 at 85-90MPH.) Anyways, are the prices they have in the store really much cheaper than Amazon or Newegg? Is the drive worth it?
So, it is way cheaper. It "says" 40 minutes, but if I drive 85MPH-100MPH like I normally do, it will take 20-30 minutes which Im fine doing.
If I go on a Sunday morning and the Merritt and 287 are almost empty, I can cruise at 110-120MPH and get there in 15 minutes. I drove to Yonkers before at that speed...cheetah :biggrin::biggrin:

Hey OP, who gives a rats ass how fast your mother's car is?
And the overall environment is kind of disheartening. Like... there are way too many people (other customers) there who actually care about what video card I have, and who would like to engage me in conversation about GPUs in general... and it's kinda creepy.
I prefer to get my spinning rust from a B&M. No UPS/FedX mishandling of my drive. Not many other stores around anymore.

...Junior?
