[RANT!found this online.
http://www.compusa.com/applications/...ode=22-1822210 listed $139
the website said they had it in stock in Ft.lauderdale. called and confirmed. so over we go. get there and they tell me it's $130 more than the site says. why because they have the am2 vers with the mempipe. http://www.compusa.com/applications/...&Tab=11&NoMapp= so for a board that needs a bios update and has a part I can get for $8 they want to charge me and extra $130. then they try to talk me into a crossfire board that takes ddr3 instead of ddr2 for $229. what part of phenom, ddr2, sli don't they understand?
oh yeah insult to injury they told me on the phone still in the box but when I get there the box has been opened and the aux fan is missing. still want $269 tho'
I think I'll get the foxconn i want and force it into my case.[/RANT!]

There is a reason why I walked into a CompUSA one time and never went back. That sucks man.

and prolly the same reason they aren't in cali anymore

they aren't in cali because tiger direct bought them, and closed most of the stores. they added a few to the 2 tiger direct outlets in miami-dade county, and kept the name for the new stores. they are all over south fl, but rare elsewhere.

Would have been speaking to the manager and always have proof in hand when doing this.
