Poll: What's your favorite electronics store and why?

[PrayForDeath]

The title says it all... Don't forget to tell us why you chose that store.
My vote goes to Fry's, excellent service, wide variety of products, and good prices (usually).
All are 5 minutes away from my home except MC. (I consider myself lucky for that )

 

[FoBoT]

this should be a blowout
we have microcenter and compUSSR here
and of course BB and CC

but Fry's is best, i have been to the one in Wilsonville OR and Arlington TX

Online stores are a different thing, you don't go buy a CRT Monitor or a computer case online (20-100$ shipping), do you?

I've never been to a Fry's since there's none around here, I'd say Best Buy just for the shear volume of product they carry.

 

[monk3y]

I never buy anything from stores... but I do enjoy going to Best Buy and messing around with stuff.

 

[gutharius]

If money were no objject MicroCenter. Great selection and I don't have to wait in line to have someone ask to help me. Which is the standard fair at all 3 Dallas Fry's locations I frequent.

 

[blurredvision]

Circuit City for me. Don't really know why, I guess I like how the local store is laid out better than Best Buy.

 

[mrrman]

love Frys...its an electronic candy store

The Fry's we have in Lombard has 75 cachiers! So you never have to wait there. And it's 2-3x bigger than the BB near it. I can spend hours there browsing products and trying games.

None of them really stand out but I'll have to vote Fry's because they actually carry decent PC components.

If by Lombard you mean Downer's Grove, IL I've never seen more than 20 cashiers working at once and I've always had to stand in line.

What else can you think of?

 

[LtPage1]

frys is an effing warehouse- much better selection/prices, but not worth the effort of navigating that mammoth hellhole.
best buy is the same as circuit city, but cc has zero lines. so cc gets my vote.
and comp usa pretends to be computer savvy, but their employees know less than any other place's.

 

[PrayForDeath]

I like Fry's Friday sales. Sometimes you can find a SATA HD for half of its original price (after rebate).

 

[PrayForDeath]

Bump!
So Fry's seems to be #1
