Mine is 8 miles away in Paterson, NJ. Wife has forbidden me to go anywhere near the store after I tried to take out a second mortgage on the house last time I went.

I live in Microcenter's home town.  We only have one now.  We used to have 3.  Thanks to newegg we only have one now.  But, it is a superstore.  And, it is a frickin' awesome place to go for parts.  Microcenter recently adjusted their pricing to compete with newegg.  They were significantly more expensive then their online competitors.


I only know of the one on Lane that relocated to Bethel.

Where were the other two?

 
I mis-typed.
 
There were 2.  The one on Lane Ave. relocated to Bethel rd.  And, then there was one in Westerville off Schrock rd.  On the corner of Schrock and Westerville rd.  It's been gone for a couple of years.

@happaflapp,
 
I vaguely remember that, now that you mention it, although I never visited it.

I live only about 10 mins from the one in Houston. Its was the store that made me go Intel this last build because it became affordable for me too. You just cant beat there i7 prices. I think I got by 950 for 100$ off neweggs price and 10% off the rest of my order which ended up being some 1600 memory.
 
Love the store but you half to know what you want and what price it is to really get in and out of there in any sense-able amount of time.
