Hey, my name is Matt and I just shopped there for the first time
I just wanted to introduce myself and tell you all that I had a fun time buzzing through the narrow isles of the store. I walked out with the exact items I sought to buy that day, a motherboard, a processor, and two case fans. Everything (besides the GPU of course) I purchased online. I'm still waiting for the ram to…

New here, but love the store!
So, even though I live 5-6 hours away from the nearest store, ever since I've decided to build my first set-up, looking online has been great and very helpful. I'm at the point with the way graphics cards are so hard to find, when I finally have the finances I need, I'm near willing to make the drive to one to get…

Hey, Microcenter! I like you!
So far I am liking this place. I have had a positive experience regarding customer support. My order was cancelled and I got my refund back! I might use this place to buy computer components in the future. Thank you, Microcenter.

Totally out of my depth, here...
Hello, Community! (I'll try programming that instead of "Hello, World!") Does that tell you anything about how NEW I am to this? Mostly self-taught by trial and error, utilizing library references and online searches, I have somehow managed to gain a local reputation for minor computer repair, primarily trouble-shooting in…

I'm new here and I desperately need help.
I recently upgraded to a WIFI 6 (802.11ax) modem/router. I get great coverage in my house, but I can't fully take advantage of the new set up because my laptops are only 802.11 n & ac. How do I upgrade the WIFI adapters on my machines? While I used to actually know my way around the guts of a computer about a million years…

Hello!
Hello! I've been a Micro Center customer for about a year now after my friends told me about it and that I happened to live with in reasonable distance to one. I've gotten almost every single part of my first build from Micro Center and am very thankful to have one. I'll also probably be getting my 30 series card from it…

Hi from Denver
I've been shopping at Microcenter since I bought a 340 megabyte IDE hard drive for a dollar per megabyte at the Fairfax store and it was a great deal at the time! Never mind how long ago that was. And last month at the Denver store I got an M.2 drive that writes more than 10x that amount per second! And its price per…

First timer. Where to go from here?
Well, my 11yo & 10yo and I just put together our first budget gaming pc. We started watching YouTube to even find out where to start, Jay and Kyle, thank you. I would say thanks to Linus, but I didn't have a $10,000 budget. So, I asked friends and family looking to see if a diamond in the rough PC was in a closet somewhere…

A new old guy joining the community
I'm new to this forum, but not to MicroCenter or computers. I've been a MicroCenter customer since their very first year in Columbus and have purchased most of my computer equipment there.

Hiya! TheSobeGuy here, a recent tech junkie.
Last year, I came into the tech market, looking for an upgrade, and now doing hardcore research on products before I can get my hands on them. I built a computer on my own, and now quietly helping out people should anyone approach me with questions. CES just passed, and here's my YouTube Video:…

Props to the Rockville Store
The Rockville store is amazingly operated. That shit was smooth as butter. The store is operated so well. I rolled up at around 8:40 this morning (release of ryzen zen3) and talked to the associate who was there waiting for people to talk to him lol. He said they didn't have any more vouchers for the 5900x, so I got a…

Howdy from another noob.
Hi Folks, I'm Greg. Like a lot of folks I've played on computers but have always wanted to build one. I guess my laptop took a dump at a advantageous time. With the new processors and cards coming out looks like building a entry to mid tier computer right now may not be a bad idea. What an adventure.
