images/news/generic.jpgCompUSA could be shutting down for good very soon, the WSJ is reporting that the beleaguered big box retailer has been sold to Gordon Brothers Group for liquidation, which will occur shortly after the holidays. Somehow we don't think it'll be too missed, but Carlos Slim's in some pain today -- we didn't realize dude put $2 billion into the chain since the late 90s.

I remember trying to buy some parity RAM (72 pin) for an old Dell 486 (I know, I am showing my age) and CompUSA was the only place you could find it. A 32 MB stick was $68.00 USD and I put 4 of them in that system ($275.00 USD for 128 MB). Since then, I don't guess I have bought anything from them other than my first SATA HDD and that was a few years ago. I have to agree, I don't think the store will be missed all that much. I feel for those losing their jobs but the business itself will not be missed...talker.

The CompUsa near me closed a few months ago. Who would miss them? They were always priced way too high compared to anyone else!!! Good riddance I say!!!

Yeah, bye bye CompUSA. Online computer stores killed them (newegg, tigerdirect, etc...) along with BestBuy and others. I won't miss them.
