Good computer parts store?

Freelance · 01-12-2009, 02:19 AM

I just need a cheap internal DVD drive for my mom's old computer and Best Buy/Circuit City doesn't have them going for any lower than $60.

I'm sure someone on here knows of a good independent computer store in the area. I'm looking for something preferably near downtown/South Tampa? I could do north of downtown up to the USF area too....just hopefully somewhere near 275.

Thanks!

newegg.com A lot of times it will be free shipping and will be there in a couple days.

Newegg
Zipzoomfly
Tigerdirect
...all for online.

Unfortunately I don't know of any good local places that don't price gouge, since TCWO got robbed and went under.

CompUSA is now TigerDirect, their local prices are actually quite good. There is a store in Brandon and a couple in Tampa.

another vote for newegg.

if you must get SOMETHING locally though and know exactly what you need COMPUSA is the place these days. i've been able to correct more than a few issues that demanded instant fixes getting parts from there.

Compusa is now a real computer store with decent prices thanks to tigerdirect taking over from whatever nutsack was running the place into the ground.
