I almost always find Staples a bit pricy compared to New Egg on the web. But there are 4 stores within 5 miles so, it's convenient. I don't buy computer parts there.

Same for CompUSA, it was sort of convenient. 

We just got a MicroCenter in a 'Special Business Zone' where the sales tax is 3%. IT seems to be a really nice store with decent but again, not internet competitive pricing unless there is a sale.
I was looking for HD enclosures and it was $20-40 pricier than Amazon and $60 pricier than NewEgg.com.
