CompUSA, in Denver, has a variety of cards, keyboards, mice, displays, etc
at reasonable prices. When they first opened, they were much more like
Fry's. Now, they seem to be concentrating more on software and complete
systems rather than components, although they still carry some components.

The last time I bought a case, I just went to one of the computer shops in
Boulder (Computer Source) and asked if they would sell me one. The first one
had a D.O.A. power supply so I just brought it back and they exchanged it.
I paid about $195 for a large tower which, at the time, was close to the
going mail order rate. It would be worth a try.
 
Also, R-Squared in Englewood (799-9292) is a good source for external SCSI
enclosures and components. Their prices are not cheap but the quality is
definitely there.
