I live about 5 miles from the microcenter in Philly. They definitely have occasional killer deals but Fry's is still better IMO. I wish there was a Fry's nearby...

Huh? There's a MC in Philly...lol I had no idea

Out route 30 (Lancaster Ave) past Villanova (and considerably past the Ferrari dealership in Lower Merion

), but before the Beer Yard in Wayne. Technically it's not in Philly but since it's a straight shot down Lancaster Ave from West Philly it's close enough to me.

I wish there was just one place to get any parts for computers in upstate NY MC is in Long Island/Westbury but is a 12-14 hour round trip for me. The only other place is FrozenCPU in East Rochester, NY and still an all day trip. So it is online only no hands shopping.

Got one in Sharonville about 15 mins away, will be getting the 2600K from there but haven't decided on which board to go with yet

lol

I love MicroCenter, And since this is a post about the communities love for MC I am not "really" thread trolling!

Haha, Live in Kansas City, MicroCenter is a rock throw away and the 8.65 isn't too bad after you buy it and alk to your car ready to go home and put it together

My 2500K + Asus P8P67 Pro combo comes out to be $370 after 8.75% tax in SoCal

Everyone remember that I live near a MC, right?

MicroCenter won't rule until they open stores in more States. I really want one driving distance from me.

hehe yeah nearest to me is 295 mile away looool.

I don't need one near me ( although would be nice ), we just need them to get with the times and use UPS \ Fedex lol.

That's why I love Houston, 3 Fry's and 1 MicroCenter all within the city limits. I'm within 10 miles from Fry's while at home and I pass by MC on the way home from work so the best of both worlds.

Well, in Chicago, we got Frys, 2 Micro Center's, and the Tigerdirect warehouse

But high sales tax does ruin it a bit :shadedshu

Microcenter 10 minutes from my house. In New Jersey. If anyone is interested in wanting to get goodies there, I will surely help as well just as most of the other members on here

And good thing about the Microcenter in Jersey is that the sales tax is only 3.5%, which is supposed to be 7%, but I guess they got a deal with the state or something, hell if I know haha.
