It varies, in my experience. I got a pretty good deal on my Radeon 9250
($25 brand new in the box) when the store on Telegraph north of Square
Lake Rd closed. Microcenter still sells those for more than that.

It'd be nice to see Fry's come here. They're the big electronics store
out west, and the ones I've seen (in CA and OR) have a bigger selection
of computer stuff for cheaper than Microcenter. The one outside Chicago
is the closest one to here that I'm aware of.
