Sadly yep. Micro Center is just about the only PC component supplier I'll buy from nowadays, but I have to drive like 4 hours to get to my nearest one

Oh, the irony that enshittification has led to not trusting online tech firms to sell tech items online.

Checking in from Vancouver Island. Nearest one is 26hrs away.

I did love them when I was living in California and could be there in an hour. Now I take my chances with online sellers like Amazon.
