Not bad for a retail Vista. I watched my Comp for a long time and saw no good deals at all. And no returns either, of course. Maybe it's time to check again.

The CompUSA near me is also now closing. Decided to drop by for a lookey-loo and it's sad to say that even with 40-70% off regular prices, they are still more expensive that what I can buy the same item for from an on-line retailer, and that includes shipping and handling.
It's no surprise that CompUSA went out of business. I don't know the reason behind their closing, but between Newegg, Performance-PCs, ZipZoomFly, TigerDirect, Ebay, and all the computer shows in my area, they rarely got my business.
I once was in dire need of a DVD ROM, ran to the CompUSA and snagged the cheapest one they had, was back there 2 hours later making a return because it was DOA. The one thing they were good for was misc adapters and cables, and you could also snag games on the cheap once in a while.

Candy asked me if she died if I could go on
Of course I said I couldn't and of course we knew that's wrong
But Candy I said Candy no you can't do that to me
Because you love me way to much for you to ever leave
CompUSA had horrible customer service in store and you could NEVER reach anyone buy phone, they ignor your phone call and ask you to leave a message. It took sometimes three days before they got back to me, what a joke.
Me and my team have been going by that same store you are talking about Soiled, (South Blvd near Pineville?) and have yet to see any good deals. I did see a Phenom 9500 for like 140.00.
A friend of mine was going to purchase the CM Stacker they had on display that was all scratched up when they finally marked them down to 50% off.... The manager and at least 2 other associates told us 3 times that it was 199.99 original. However, when we got to the checkout, it rang up 260.00 and even tho it was missing pieces, no documentation, scratched, dinged and beat to hell, they still wanted 130.00 for it. So we told em to stick it up their asses and hope that CM would give them even $50 return credit for it. Cheap bastards they are. They jacked up the prices right before they started their "Store Closing" sales. So, yes, everything is 50% off....of an inflated price.

The LIQUIDATORS jacked up the prices.
THe liquidator bought the entire store stock and jacked up the prices so they could start the 10% etc off sale.
At this point the liquidator can not return anything. NOTHING. If they don't sell it, they can move it to their next store that they are liquidating off. But no way is that stuff going back to the manufacturer.
In otherwords, the day before they completely shut down the store is the best day to shop. It will be "let's make a deal" for the duds and heavy crap that they don't want to packup and ship to the next location.
When there is no location left to liquidate? Hmmmm. Great day to go shopping. Except one little problem. The liquidator usually knows of a small chain etc that they will be buying in the future, so their motivation to dump everything is not always the greatest. In addition, some of these liquidators also own their own chain of storefronts.... meaning that they can just move the stuff to their own store.... add it to their store stock and knock a few $ off and sell it as returns, store demos etc.

Mine closed about this time last year and I bought my PSU among other things from them. I got a Tt Toughpower 750 for $120 so enjoy the savings.

It's funny you mention that because when the store near me was closing they had a silver Stacker 830 which was the same deal, $260@50% off, and the case was missing parts and totally banged up so I ended up buying the 832 for $260 from Newegg. I was looking at it and if it were around $100 I would have bought it and cleaned it up but I was thinking are they serious with this price.

Here in Fort Lauderdale, it was known as "CompUseless". They had WORST customer service than Walmart! I was going to try to hit the few stores around, but realized I would have gotten everything I need or wanted cheaper online. I just hope Tigerdirect has good customer service in the stores they are opening. I'm already not a fan of them because their website is poorly laid out.
Phenom 9500s went from $250 to $180 to now $146.
Sony Blu-Ray player (floor model) ~ $500
Samsung BD-1400 Blu-Ray player (floor model) ~ $300
Various PCs ~ $700+ (Q6600, X2 6000+)
Shelves, etc.
I did buy Stranglehold, Prey, and Dreamfall though. Prey was only about $14
