CompUSA BSoDs its Seattle stores
Try this: Go here. Under state, choose “Washington”, “all locations”, and “Go!” How many CompUSA locations are in the state? And weren’t there three or four in the Seattle metro area just yesterday?
Well, there were, before CompUSA decided to dump 126 stores, moving their focus onto stores in medium sized markets. In the West, “medium sized market” is defined as “not having a Fry’s.” (Personally, it’s a bit annoying, because CompUSA, for all their overpricedness and someone dimwitted staff, was 25 miles closer to me than Fry’s, and Best Buy doesn’t carry all that many CPU power supplies.)
So, if you remember where the CompUSA locations used to be in town, you might swing by there in the next week or two and see what bargains the liquidators are putting out there. Or, wait a couple more weeks and see if they’re going to take off more than 10%.

Colin, for CPU power supplies try someplace like Office Depot or even Radio Shack. Sometimes I find the office type places to have what I need because nobody thinks to go there for computer stuff.
