[TriLUG] Computer stores

[Matt Pusateri]

I've found Intrex store's inventory varies by store.  They used to give card carrying members a discount.  Last time I was in, maybe 6 months ago that was still true.  I'd support them before Tiger Direct/Comp USA.  The Durham Tiger Direct in South Hils Mall is fairly big though.

The selection is much the same in all Intrex stores I expect. Intrex is one of the few local stores left in the business. They can't compete with the on-line stores, so they just carry the standard stuff. If you know what you want, they're happy to order it for you, even though they don't make much money on onsies and twosies. What they don't have you'll have to get on-line. I buy from Intrex when I can and when I can't I go on-line. It's nice to have a local store know your face when you come in and know that you'll walk out of the store with something that will do what you want, rather than something that will just make money for the store.
