minus-squareZorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up30·edit-218 hours agoThe nerds haven’t hung out at best buys in years. They’re a glorified appliance store now. Last time I went into one for a computer part, they had 3 colors of the same case fan and two different GPUs, and that was it. Now MicroCenter, that’s where it’s at.

minus-squareZorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 hours agoYeah, west coast is a bit barren for micro center. One in LA, one in SF (when they open). I have 3 in my state (Ohio) but their headquarters is also here so shrug
