Does anyone know any place to buy computer components in Buffalo?
My next trip down I plan on taking a look at prices.

Around the Buffalo area? I don't think there is a Fry's or Costco.

I've been there and looked, there was nothing but a Circuit City and various Best Buys in Cheektowaga, if you're going to that area where Walden Galleria is. Supposedly there was a CompUSA in Western downtown Buffalo but we decided it wasn't worth the trip.
I don't think Fry's has a location on the Northeast side of the States.

computer components at bestbuy and circuitcity? I think it will be cheaper to buy them in Toronto then.

Yea, the best at BB was a 8600GT for $199, and at CC, they had the 8800GTS 320mb for $309. :confused:

Errr, just saying that when I was at Best Buy looking for computer parts(I knew I wasn't gonna find anything but meh, went there to play Rock Band ;)) it was overpriced and lacked selection. Same thing when I was at Circuit City, the vanilla 8800GTS was $310. So no point in looking at computer components in Buffalo/Cheektowaga.

Oh sorry, whenever I see CC I think Canada Computers.

In general, I find computer components to be better priced in Canada. In addition, it's much easier to get things done under warranty.
However, there are exceptions - clearance items are usually crazy cheap in the US.
