I don't understand why you would want to purchase locally versus internet? Newegg, (as well as others), have free return shipping if item is defective. More than likely you will pay higher prices locally versus internet as well. Also, I do recommend dual DVD Optical drives!

I purchase locally because it's more convenient. No shipping fees and I can see what I want, grab it, take it home and hook it up. And the prices are usually lower than newegg.

Sorry mrpacs, but I have to agree with memebag.


Thanks for the offer MM it does look great and could work for me, but I just bought a tower today and I will about to post all the info about it.

EVERYTHING I buy from NewEgg normally has free shipping. I normally receive the items within 1 or 2 day's. I've purchased locally and on internet and internet win's HANDS DOWN for me. As for seeing things in my hand, lol, there is no need to since I KNOW what I am buying. If you don't know, well then , I guess holding a packaged saran wrapped box may make you feel better. good luck.

I went to Best Buy to check out that tower I posted earlier, I looked inside and I wasn't really a fan of that motherboard and couple of other things. So I went to Fry's Electronics and saw the Cooler Master Mid Tower - Elite 330 today and I decided to buy that one instead. It doesn't come with a motherboard and a power supply like the other tower, but I got it at a good price for $39.95. Here are the pics and specs about it:

Model - RC-330
Available Color - Black
Dimension - (W)7.4 x (H)16.7 x (L)19 inches
Weight - 13.22 Lbs
Material - SECC
Motherboards - ATX, Micro-ATX
5.25" Drive Bay - 4 (exposed)
3.5" Drive Bay - 1 (Exposed); 6 (Hidden)
I/O Panel - USB 2.0 x 2, MIC x 1, SPK x 1
Cooling System - One 120mm front fan(optional), One 120mm rear fan
Expansion Slots - 7
Power Supply - Standard ATX PS2 (Optional)

So little by little, I will buy the components for this tower.

That fantastic, but I have bought a couple of things in the past and I wasn't really stratified with it. So I had to pay for shipping and handling and had to wait for my return money. I only buy CD's and DVD's for now on online. I'm one of those people that has to see something person before deciding to buy it.
