BustBuy....w.O.w.....

The last time I was in a BB store, I asked the tweener-bot salesperson where the PSU's were, and he gave me an angry, dazed "deer in the headlights" look, as if that was a verboten question or something....fortunately for him I was in a good mood that day, and I had a good idea of where they were anyways, however, as usual, they had multiple spots on the shelves for various brands & models, but only 3-4 of them actually had product available, the rest were empty....

Same thing for the Cat6 cables (which was actually what I went there for), they had 15 spots for them, but only 3 were stocked....and those were mostly useless sizes.....6", 7", 15"....

BustBuy...yea that's where all quality mfgr's should be selling their products.. /s

I can't remember the last time I actually physically browsed a BB store. I buy my gear online and pick it up at the CS desk (don't trust them to carry anything to the curb tbh). The kids at the desk are always polite and helpful, they even offered to help carry my 6 Seasonic PSUs out to the truck for me on my last trip. I chuckled.

Thermaltake PSUs from BB? I'd have to do some serious research before trusting the two together (BB/TT).

Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised by this. Both are well-rated power supplies by hardwarebusters and having them available as an emergency option is really nice to have.
