Finally Decided to Make A Community Account
Hey all, I'm Stefan out of Alpharetta, Georgia, moved here about 3 years ago. I felt incredibly lucky since I have 2 Microcenters Equidistant to me. Though I always have been spoiled with having access to computer parts wherever I lived (my house in NJ was 15 minutes away from NewEgg's Distro Center in Edison, so I could…

Newbie to building
Hi all, I'm new to the forums and also new to building a computer. So, sometime last year, when my hard drive was starting to fail on my old desktop, I decided to once again go over the pros and cons of build your own versus getting a prebuilt. At that time, I decided to go build your own and started researching how to do…

Hello
New to this forum. Am thinking of a new PC build but I have specific requests and questions. Can I set up an appointment at the Micro Center store to talk with an actual human? The online "build your own" doesn't cover my situation. Thanks.

Howdy Folks!
What's up folks. My name is Joe, I'm 22 and I've been a Micro Center customer since 2014, the same year I completed my second PC build. From Michigan, it's a decent drive to the Madison Heights store for me, but definitely worth it every time I go. I am a Law Enforcement Officer for a local agency here in Michigan, and I…

New to this forum, but massively involved in low cost computing!
Hi all! I've been buying from MC for over 15 years now and still go to the local locations surrounding me at least once a week. I specialize in building cheap, effective gaming rigs for the least looked out for communities in NYC. I retired form IT a few years ago and dedicated myself to trying to get the poorest of my…

New Here, but an MC Vet
Just introducing myself. My first trip to Micro Center (Dallas, TX) was to buy a 4 Megabyte (MB not GB) stick of RAM for my first computer, a used IBM PS/2 Model 55. It was much like today. There was a counter back where the motherboards are today, and you would wait in line to tell them what you wanted. I was 9 years old…

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…

Micro Center story you might enjoy
New to the community but not Micro Center. I have been a driver all my life. Starting from high school, driving tow trucks for my dad, then taxi cabs, delivering pizza, flowers, blood for the red cross, auto parts and finally a limousine driver. About 10 years ago i sort of turned a friend i met at a homeless shelter into…

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. My first PC was an Apple IIc on which I learned basic programming and began an attempt to learn machine language (a very generic terms,…

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:…

Looking to contact someone from Corporate for Media Partners
So this appears to be some deep dark secret that I don't have a flashlight for, I have been googling constantly and trying to call whatever numbers I find to ask for some direction. Alas, it has yielded no fruit. Can anyone please put me in the right direction to contacting the right people?

Does Micro Center have a Discord channel?
Title says it all. Just wondering if there's a Micro Center Discord channel and if it's active at all if there is one.

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.

Well Met
Hay there Ækitus here I just wanted to give a shout out to the Dallas Micro Center Team.

While I was waiting on my friends to finish drooling over the new cases and tech I got to help a customer…

Hi all, fellow Brookyln, NY here. Got some questions!
Hello! Based in Brooklyn, NY here! I want to ask if anyone has experience with releases at our local Micro Center on 3rd ave? I want to camp for the 3090 and would love some advice.
