it would IF I had a local store.. closest REAL hardware story would be best buy, 45 minutes away highway. With gas prices now, that's about $8-$10 each trip. And it's not like best buy is well known for it's great selection or parts.

We stopped by for a 450 watt power supply for my wife last year.. closest they had in stock was a 650, for $299!

And we got her a 450 watt supply with a warranty 3 times longer for $40 shipped from newegg.

Had I bought things locally, I peobably would have easily doubled the cost of her system or more.

(Her ati x1950 pro card at best buy was $350... at newegg it was $1405 shipped!)

I remember jokin gwith her when e left best buy, that with thier prices, we could buy her two online, in case she needed a backup.. LOL!

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
