 For some reason, I’m a big fan of CompUSA.  The sales staff isn’t very helpful, but then again, how many big box stores can actually help you?  My local alternatives are Circuit City: their computer hardware/accessory section is a joke.  Then there’s Best Buy: selection is better, but their prices are never as good as CompUSA.

Kind of makes you think, CompUSA seemed to have the selection that appealed to the more advanced geek and they had cheaper prices.  That’s a smaller niche and that equals less profit.  Circuit City concentrates on TVs and has a nice car audio department and an excellent selection of DVDs.  Best Buy does car audio, home theater, and even appliances.  Much wider appeal…perhaps that was CompUSA’s downfall.
