Haha, thats awesome. Fry's is definately at the top of the list for local stores. I got my 780i motherboard from there, it ended up being about the same as newegg's price + shipping, but it was an immediate pick-up vs. waiting for a day or two. I have noticed that they do cost alot more for some things though. In particular, graphics cards. If you compare the exact same card from Fry's to Newegg they usually are alittle more, at least on the latest and greatest stuff.

Fry's weekly sales do bring some prices down though to match that of Newegg. I got my case (Antec Nine Hundred) from Fry's on a friday sale they had that made it $30 cheaper than the Newegg price. $89 vs $120
