Microcenter - any good?

[Malladine]

I'm lookin hard at their $299 x850xt agp but man, I don't like that rating. Can I get some feedback from the good folks in General Hardware?

no there's a store about 20min away from me. i just go in and out. usually they have the lowest prices of any B&M. no shipping from them though.

Microcenter is a good place to buy stuff from..its like the bidway point between Best Buy and Newegg and they always have good deals on pc stuff....there is a store in Cleveland that i go to often as its next door to where i work :\......the only problem with microcenter is that some of their sales reps wont know about things that they advertise

THey are a reputable company, and I don't forsee any problems ordering online from them.

I, too, have a B&M store about 15 minutes from my home and while they have a ton of stuff, I find their prices to be a bit high for non-sale items, especially compared to e-tailers like Newegg.

I don't foresee any problem with buying online, but note what the comments at RSR are and not just the score.

As for physical stores (unlike Newegg, Zipzoomfly), Microcenter is definately the best, but I have never order online and get stuff shipped to me though. I have, however, done online order and store pickup.

"new"? Enjoying that rock you've been living under for the last five years?

I, too, have bought things from their real-world stores, but I've never bought anything online from them. Only place that beats them in B&M (IMO) is Fry's, but none of them on the east coast.

It just so happens this rock has moss AND lichen on it. Thankyou very much.
