I live around 5-7 mins from Microcenter. I can help people to purchase something from my local Microcenter, but most of things are overpriced except the intel processor :laugh:

I live in Fairfax va... Microcenter 10mins away from me.

What Ive seen the deals are ok, just a hit or miss. Newegg seem to have better pricing unless Microcenter have a clearance sale.

So should I add you to the list or not?

Um... why are you making it out that this thread is an issue? Get over your opinions.

I do it often enough that it's no trouble for me. That thread is bulls!t by the way. I've had two 920s from the exact same batch and lot that performed radically different from each other, and most other OCers who do it professionally have confirmed that there is no reason to believe batch matters with i7s.

Such poor grammar... lol, man get it at 229.99. After tax shipping and travel it costs more for me than that price by $5.

Just picking on ya man. I had that feeling when the C0s were out, and it was confirmed. Then when a bunch of bad D0s went into circulation a bunch of people started looking into batch#s again, and the bad D0s have sort of leveled out to normal D0s again. There were too few bad D0s to say entire batches were bad. I have a "bad batch" D0 right now what does 4.2GHz @ 1.25V

Hey there, if anyone lives near a microcenter close to North Carolina, I'd like to get a Hauppaugge HD PVR from there since i think they are ~$175 which is like $25+ cheaper than anywhere else.
