Your lucky dood, california is where all that stuff is shipped out from, the comp shows in the midwest suck badly. Blue star = (

The shows that come through my area only seem to have crap like "top of the line" Pentium 133 machines, you have my envy.

BLUE STAR BITES! On stop of it sucking all the stuff is over priced! I'll stick with newegg untill something good comes around.

Shoot, down here in Tallahassee Florida (where? i know...) there aren't any computer shows. LOL! We have a Best Buy, a Circuit City, and a Comp USA and thats about it!

Does anybody know where there may be a listing for Comp shows with dates and locations?
