I won't buy expensive parts at Fry's since you generally have to spend too 
much for it there, it you want good quality parts. So much of there stuff has 
those 'already been returned' stickers also - gives me a real warm fuzzy 
feeling to buy a motherboard or hard drive that has been handled by somebody 
else first. There return policy suffers from the fact that you have to deal 
with the flunky's Q/A to return something of value.

I can get something 2nd air from someone else and get it cheaper even when you 
add in the shipping.

I don't have to drive down there to find out they don't have something either.
(I have found trying to call them up almost useless.)

I have gone down there just to get a look at something, and then ordered it 
elsewhere .... if I really wanted a close look .... and then maybe wander over 
and pick up a stack of blank CDRs while there....
