Well we do have a Microcenter near the north side on Elston, and Fry's Electronics is only about 15 miles away from Chicago downtown.
Some of the Best Buy's are somewhat knowledgeable on things, laptop prices are good because they don't do MIR.

Didn't that Microcenter used to be elec-tek or something like that? We also have 2 tiger directs just southwest of the city. I didn't know about Fry's though, thanks.
I guess I take back what I said. I was just going on the fact that when I built my PC I sure didn't know they were around. Its to bad because I went with what the local small store had in stock.
As far as Best Buy's go I agree. Some seem to have fairly knowledgeable people. The Niles store though, is just pitiful. I grew up in Park Ridge so I used to go there a lot before I moved into the city. Now I think the closest BB is on North Ave.
The old CompUSA I used to go to was on Touhy out near Skokie I think.

Too bad the CompUSA closest to me won't close. One of the managers is a family friend, and he had mentioned that they are the top producer in the nation. 
well I missed this thread while I was down for a while upgrading my desktop. I'll have to swing by one or two of the Atlanta ones next month when i go down there. I'm surprised they are closing all of the Atlanta locations.
Microcenter is far better than CompUSA anyway when it comes to buying computer parts. They actually have parts, not just flashy electronics.

$62.99 at the Egg + $6.13 shipping (Maybe Tax) If you figure in gas to get their and back it's about the same price

I went to my local CompUSA and spoke with a salesperson, apparently the stores have been sold off to a liquidation company, so everything must go. Like they were selling the shelves.

Just drove to one in Shaumurg, Chicago, Illinois, and they had 10%-30%. No good deals. 8800GTS was $400 - 10% = $360..... Radeon X300SE was $90-30% = $60...... X2 3800+ was $290 - 30% = $210.....

Still not a lot of good deals. The "tech parts" section is discounted 30%, so you can get some decent prices on cooling stuff. Too bad they don't have Scythe or Thermalright. I'd rather see my microcenter go out of business. They have a better parts department.

They never have anything I want. So 40% off of stuff I don't want means nothing to me.

Just went to a store that was closing that is next door.
Only thing that snagged my attention was a couple of core2 duo boxes in the 30% off locked up area. They had them bumped up to $279 as the regular price, so yer not saving much, but after all is said and done it would be $175 or so.
A little bit cheaper than the egg, but not much.
Looks like $20ish

And with "all sales are FINAL" its worth the extra 20$ to buy it from Newegg
While I feel for the rank and file CompUSSR employees the evil suits who run CompUSSR should be tarred and feathered when they finally go bankrupt.
