<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Note on Microcenter: They specialize in the desktop, home user, hobyist equipment. All decent gear and decent prices. Don't bother looking for a dual or quad proc board :-) Those are server-class and they don't deal with that stuff.<br>
<br></div>Their staff is knowledgeable and helpful without being pushy. Many staff tinker with Linux at home.

<br></div>Every time I've bought a system from them for office desktop, one of the managers comes out and thanks me personally.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 22, 2013 at 10:38 AM, Scott Plante <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:splante@insightsys.com" target="_blank">splante@insightsys.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>Just a quick note before I get to bed way too late. I've been doing <br>lots of research lately on purchasing computer parts, mainly gpu's and <br>cpu's. I've found that Micro Center often has prices that are cheaper <br>
than Frys, Tiger Direct, and NewEgg. It's pretty amazing. Just thought <br>I'd pass it along.<br><br>Sincerely,<br><br>Ron<br><br><br>-- <br><br>(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to<br>
