I've pretty much quit buying from Fry's. They're always and I mean always are out of stock for the hot ad items. If you buy a component, be prepared to take it back (sometimes 2 or 3 times) because it doesn't work. Now I buy 99% of my geek stuff from Newegg and Tiger Direct. You have to wait on UPS, but it's worth it.
That is a bold general statement, and it is incorrect. You know why?
Cause the Frys in Houston is the @$#%....always had everything I needed....motherboards, graphics cards, processors, sound cards, games, controls, software...ect. Never walked in and was out of stock of any item I needed, except for christmas. Only had 1 item to take back and it was a dead motherboard, went in and within 5 minutes had a new one, no charge. Excellent place.
