Did you buy anything?
Dunno if you’ve been keeping up with the news but that might not be the case for much longer…
dont worry soon thx to Tarffis it wont be so cheap so buy what you can now
friend from belgium got himself a asus rog ally when he could. saved 200€. hope you got some good loot.
Visit some Walmart stores, there may be some PC stuff at insane discounts too. I don’t understand why they do that, but I wish I had Walmart in my country
Respect the spelling conversion there fam
It’s great, but cheap???
Laughs in 150% MSRP 4060s
Wow! A shop that needs multiple posts from stopping bad guys crashing nto the store?!
What kind of fucked up country needs that?
Micro center has great deals on *some* products like their bundles and laptops, but they’ll gladly overcharge for things like RAM or storage.

How did you like it?
As an American, I am jealous.
Currys Comet PC world is better
About 20 years ago the disparity between the EU and U.S. PC components was much greater, and the EU always seemed one or two tech generations behind. That’s largely changed, now imo
“So damn cheap”, even I as a belgian know that’s false. You’re used to UK prices with included VAT. US prices don’t have VAT. They have a sales tax that’s not included in the MSRP (and can vary greatly at the state and even county level)
Right, it’s so much fun! I have to be careful or else I’ll always leave with more then I planned
Fuck yeah, as a fellow Brit I’m so jealous of Microcenter too.
There are no shops like it at all in the UK any more, even PC World (don’t be fooled by the name) is shit these days. It used to be alright but still nothing like Microcenter is. I’m puzzled though, surely there is a market for it these days.
**WE. WANT. MICROCENTER!!**
Buy anything you want now, prices are going to go NUTS soon.
You would have been amazed at Fry’s Electronics during its heyday.
the nearest MicroCenter to me is 2 hours away and I thought that was rough. I guess I should be happy I at least don’t have to cross the Atlantic 🙂 Probably good for my wallet I don’t live closer
Looks more like a macrocentre.
I am also fromthe UK and went it my first Micro-centre last year. I was on holiday with my mum and was like a kid in a candy store dragging her around the whole store talking about PC parts. She is not really one for showing much interest in my hobbies but she said she had a good time walking around the store. I only bought keycaps though, could have bought the whole store.

u/scotcheggfan , love the name and me too!
Looks like the Chicago location.
Edit: Ok saw your post history and yeah have fun in Chicago. Good luck with the other hunt your on. Should be pretty easy in this city. 🙂
Spread the good word when you get back
May our temple of technology reach your shores
You weren’t here for the Golden Age of PC building when we had Fry’s Electronics, Microcenter, and local mom and pop shops. Each Fry’s was huge and had their own theme (Space, Atlantis, Aztec ruins etc)
Welcome to Chicago friendo, hope you enjoy your stay, sorry for the horrible weather currently 😕
Welcome to Chicago!
You lucky bastard… Was it just as you imagined?
mate, you got mad lucky just before the tarrifs ruined everything, good job
Centre lol
Sadly a lot of us Americans have to travel just as long to a MicroCenter.
Forna sec I read that as,
“Just visited a mocrocentre as someone IN the UK”
Heart jumped for a sec…
Did you buy anything? If we had one in the UK, it would be so nice to be able to physically go and see the products before buying, and having somewhere to go back to for support/RMA. Currently, I’ve had to stick to [SCAN.COM](http://SCAN.COM), [Overclockers](http://Overclockers.co.uk) and Amazon and they are all online. Currently Currys/PC World are just prebuilts only and highly over priced at that.
Not much longer lol
How does freedom taste?
If not going broke because of stupid policy is political, screw it, time to be pollical AF. Should have been this way a long time ago. I’m tired of fear and stupidity ruining every damned thing.
