Would you buy from here instead of Newegg? I guess what I'm asking is: are prices better here or on Newegg
Nope, I was speaking to pure retail stores that you can step foot into.

Online only stores blow retail stores out of the water on pricing(generally speaking).

Fry's pricing, in store at least was generally $10 or so more than a newegg. I mainly went to frys when I lost a component that I needed to replace quick. I built a few of my machines purely from parts out of Fry's. Fry's doesn't rip you off, but you have to make sure you're buying a new item. They put returned items back on the shelf... and they have a pretty open return policy. THey took back a mobo that I fried when OC'ing it.
