Darn kids these days with their PC Part Pickers putting their builds in a tidy list.

Back in my day, you went to Babagge's, CompUSA, Fry's, or the local small PC builder shop, and hope they had some decent parts in stock.

Microcenter. They were always very well stocked. Well at least most of the time.

I love Micro Center. I wish they'd expand or offer online ordering and shipping.

That's the first step to adding a bunch of third party sellers to their store and making it a pain to figure out what they have on hand locally. Looking at you pretty much every other big retailer.

Sigh. I'd disagree with you, but you're absolutely correct.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 7 months ago

Yeah, it sucks. It would be a cool idea but I have no confidence it wouldn't be enshitified almost immediately.

I've never had one near me
