Out of curiosity where are you located? As far as I can tell, all the Microcenters in the Bay Area have closed down.

We still have Central Computer, which is where I had to go to get my last part when Fry's didn't have it (the special screwdriver for opening the newish Mac laptops).

I'm in Southern California, Costa Mesa to be exact (near Irvine and Huntington Beach). Microcenter is in Tustin.

My dad basically runs his business through that Microcenter, and has for the past 5+ years—prior to that Fry's was the place to go, especially the one off the 91 & Kramer.

I just wish it wasn't next to the 5 entrance on the 55. Maybe that is a good thing, if not I would make my way there more often. Reporting from Costa Mesa as well.

I was wondering if Central was still around. They used to be my SF go to when building my own PCs.

still around

they have handful of store around the bay

The Sunnyvale store burned to the ground. They've opened a new one on Lawrence next to St. John's, across Lawrence from Fry's.
