Ask YC: Best computer components shop around Palo Alto?

1 pointDocSavage2 comments

Fry's is pretty good, but sometimes I need an alternative. For example, Fry's doesn't have the new Penryn (45nm) Intel processors even though a number of internet retailers have them in stock. GamePC on California Ave has a good selection but not so good prices. Is there a newegg-like retailer within driving distance (radius out to San Jose)?

I like HT Computer Warehouse http://www.htcw.net/index.html for used stuff.

This might be slightly off topic but for harder to find parts you should check out Weird Stuff Warehouse in Sunnyvale (it's close to Yahoo). The people are pretty friendly and it's generally just a fun place to go poke around.
