12/5 Any recommendations for a good computer store in Berkeley, or nearby?
I'm building a desktop linux box. want it quiet and quality parts.
\_ my basement - danh
\_ Fry's. And obL1NSUX!
\_ In Berkeley?
\_ Said nearby, fremont is nearby.
\_ well there is a best buy in e-ville
\_ There are none in Berkeley city limits. I suggest visiting large
stores like Fry's and Compusa to look at pretty boxes and then buy
over the net to dodge CA sales tax and get lower prices overall.
\_ mmmm shipping costs
\_ I've done the math. For expensive parts the sales tax is
often higher than shipping *and* you get a lower base price.
And oh, btw, fuck CA's brutal and crushing sales tax.
\_ then move back to russia, jewboy!
\_ i buy cases locally, because they have a bad weight/cost
ratio. everything else i tend to do mail order, except
for the occasional fry's special. non-special prices
at fry's are awful.
\_ Hell, boy, you shoulda asked! We don't pay no stinkin'
case shipping charges! http://www.electroseller.com
\_ man, them be pricey cases. last case i bought
was for $10 at a surplus place off brokaw in sjc. |
