I live closer to Fry's than most of you, but I haven't been there in over 
a year. I don't find their prices all that good on complete computers and 
bigger ticket items, but they do have some of the most obscure computer 
and electronics parts in the area. It's also hit and miss on some things, 
and I leave there empty handed most times. 

There's a Best Buy about a half mile north of the Fry's location. That's 
one of the better BB locations in the area, and features their musical 
instrument store.
