At Microcenter, only the first one (per visit) is $5.00:

1 at $5.00 each, 2-5 at $9.99 each, 6+ at $12.99 each

> It might be different in other countries, but I have to imagine that anyone in the US could get their hands on a Zero if they wanted one.

A zero, sure. But I want like 20, haha. Unfortunately my nearest Microcenter is 600 miles away. If I can't get 20 for $100, they're not really $5 each.

Gosh - I thought microcenter went OOB in 1998 (at least in San Jose, Ca)

Their design aesthetic kind of looks like they did, what with the weird grey stucco and the blue and white blocky font.

In Texas, each microcenter has their own theme. It's actually pretty cool! One is a space station. Another is an oil field :-)

Their Orange County/Tustin location is the only one left in California, apparently. I built my "graduation present" PC with parts from there in 2008. They've apparently got about 2 dozen locations around the country, along with the web store.
