Actual stores

[tainaan]

Hey, I'm looking into building a mining/gaming rig, however, due to some annoying circumstances I'm only able to purchase from stores not online (which gets rid of newegg). Any suggestions what stores I should check out to purchase computer hardware from? (besides bestbuy) Also if it helps I'm located near Pittsburgh,PA. Thanks in advance.

The internet has understandably put brick and mortar computer shops in kind of a bind. Look in your yellow pages for a locally owned shop though, and you might find someone who's friendly, knowledgeable, and will help you out. Most likely they'll have to special order something. I know my local computer shop only keeps very basic things in stock due to low demand, so I generally only go there for hardware emergencies.
