FWIW, I was singularly unimpressed with that store (Pixel USA) when 
I wandered in there the other day.  Doesn't hold a candle to Central 
Computers in regards to variety of merchandise for one thing. (they
did appear to have a good variety of motherboards however, including
ASUS, but I didn't see the latest ASUS - ie P3B boards - on display)

There's a cool mural on the wall of the cafe next door though.  <g>
