Yup, just saw that too. It sucks that they're closing a store. Maybe they'll find a new location and reopen.

I think tax for the 7970 would be $33 so you would only be saving $7 by going to the store over Amazon (gotta factor in gas too so really Amazon is better). Obviously you dont have to do the fastest shipping but if you needed a part quickly, Amazon is amazing with prices.
OT more; Great...now there's only one Micro center in CA. Meh.

Amazon also ships out on Sundays.

Yeah, Amazon is a killer.

No Tax
Low Prices
Fast Shipping - Everyone is Prime!

I live in NJ and am not that far from an MC and the fact is that with tax from MC and the fact you have to drive there, I usually just go with Amazon. Unless, it's a CPU.

EDIT: My MC tax is only 3.5% as they are in a UEZ.

Sales tax was 8.375 % at this one that closed...

So, you automatically save 8.375% just from ordering from Amazon. (That is unless you report it at the end of the year like you're supposed to.

)

I believe the sales tax for the one in Kansas is 8.65%, because it's in the richest city in the state.

Whoever is picking orders @ the NJ location is pissing me off. Someone hates picking water cooling parts at this location. 10+ barbs in stock online, I receive an email stating out of stock. I go to the store and find a treasure load of them. It's not like I sent this person across the store since the tubing was fulfilled, same isle.

This is not good news! I live less than 2 miles away and bought the majority of components through them for my last 2 builds within the past year. Ideally I'd love if they stayed in Sunnyvale, but I hope they are able to find another location anywhere in the Bay Area. Damn, this ruined my day
