I'd go back to doing most of my purchases at Microcenter as there's something about having a physical store close to you, but they have absolutely zero m-itx motherboards. Until they give me that option I'll just stick with buying the loss leader cpu's.
i used to love just walking around comp-usa to get stuff. but now the only brick and mortar stores close by are staples and office depot. i think there is a microcenter further south of where i work, but i've never been there. and it is an hour and a half from home.
