That's a month old or something, figured someone already had it covered.  Still surprising though, even more surprising is that their price cuts of 20% are still higher than other local computer stores.

I hope no one is counting on an extended warranty from them.  :huh

saw it comming over a year ago when all the stores around here went out of business.
Beware of any "going out of business" sales
When they had them here there really wasnt much in the way of savings

Was one near me. Convenient at times but with Fry's Electronics a few hundred yards away it won't be missed.

I closed them down personally after they ripped me off to the tune of about $80 dollars on a return in the Mid 1990s.

I was in a CompUSA once.  That was enough.

My pet peeve with them was that when they had a sale advertised in the sunday paper they NEVER had the stock to back it up.

Ive had good luck lately with Micro Center and Tiger Direct.

Really?  CompUSA has been in serious financial shape for many years now.

There are so few stores at this point, that this really will have no market impact.  

The company was sold off to a Mexican Billionaire by the name of Carlos Slim many years ago.   So it has not been an American owned company for a long time now.

I bought 2 pc's from those salamanders back in the 80's and 90's, and they are on my watermelon list along with Advance Auto.....good riddance. They remind me of MY company, and I tell all my friends to NEVER do business with them:furious
