Fry's Electoronics will cease operations

There's a statement on their website also

It's an end of an era. Many a time whenever I needed some emergency hardware a run to Fry's was the only answer. Setting up a startup office? Run in for Ethernet cables and some cheap Dell servers. The RAID controller in your server at AboveNet died? Run to Frys. Need a geek toy for a Christmas gift. Yep, Frys. They had every kind of obscure electronic part you could possibly imagine sitting on a shelf. None of that next day delivery nonsense.
