CompUSA's Final Hours
CompUSA is in its final throes of going out of business. Shelves are nearly empty, discounts are approaching the 70% mark, and the "All Sales Are Final!" signs are out in force. So, if you're looking for a bargain, you'd better get to your local outlet now. Just don't go expecting much help, as the Consumerist has found that most CompUSA employees are quite content to ignore you while whittling away their last obligations at the company playing video games.CompUSA was about the only national retail chain out there that sold nearly every piece of computer hardware you could want, from CPU fans to power supplies. With it gone (or mostly gone, a handful of locations will stay open), it'll be even harder for do-it-yourselfers to make quick, emergency repairs to their computers without having to pay for overnight shipping from some website. But, given CompUSA wasn't exactly full of bargains in the first place, it may not make much of a difference. Perhaps that had something to do with its downfall ...
