Micro Center

Not sure how this place can have such good deals on so much stuff, but it sucks they don't ship their good deals. I'm hundreds of miles away from a B&M store.

Edit -

This price is $20-$30 cheaper than anywhere else right now.

They sell some items at a loss (ex. select processors, DVD drives, ect) for this exact reason! It works on me too. Which is also why they don't ship at that price.

oh i know it. i do a lot of my company shopping there because of this too. their deal where you buy an AMD CPU and get a free mobo is amazing for basic workstations with a bit of unf for users to still goof off on. i don't mind their business practices at all.

They usually run $40 off any motherboard/cpu combo for AMD too, I prefer that deal as you get higher quality boards.
