Reply to comment by Robert_L0blaw in I recently traveled to Minneapolis and they had a store called axeman surplus store. they had tons of electronics stuff and building type items. does anyone know if there is a similar store in Pittsburgh? by doransignal

So this has been brought up more than a few times recently. Best Buy (at least in Robinson) now carries a full inventory of PC hardware, enough to surprise me. From prebuilts to actual video cards, AiO coolers, CPU's, m2 drives. In relatively recent memory the only PC componets they had were portable hard drives, thumb drives, and like 3 monitors in the back corner - this has changed.

I took the trip to Cleveland last year (maybe year and a half) to visit Microcenter, and it was nice and all but busy. 95% of people are going to order components online, but it's good to know that Best Buy has "I need it today" parts, like when my SSD went out and I had to buy a M2 drive on Black Friday.

B and H photo has been sending me parts quickly. Like 2-3 days from NJ warehouse. They're pretty decent for SSDs etc. Not today today but close.

Amazon Prime will get you most things in 1-2 days. I use PC Part Picker which will index Amazon, B&H, Newegg, TigerDirect, Best Buy etc when I do a new build to find the best price once I pick exactly what I want.
