I also went to MicroCenter. I was very impressed. I thought there prices
were very
competitive considering there is no shipping costs for me to pay and you
have a
local point for returns. Those things easily make up for the 1 or 2 dollars
more I
would pay for an item. They had some sweet deals on Maxtor 15 Gig drives for
like
$70.  And a 8x CDRW for $120.

They are going to see alot of business from me!
