Tiger Direct lives! 😮
Tiger Direct was the f****** best!!
Thats what I thought
Except Micro Center is way better! I first went to one in Kansas City when I lived in MO. Now I live in LA and have no problem driving an hour to Tustin to the only MC in California.
Finally something like this in Miami.
It reminding me of Comp USA and Fry’s Electronics. Glad it’s here.
Fry's went out of business. The had too good of a price match policy and people would abuse the return policy to upgrade parts. The would not honor a lot of their returns and had to fight for hours to get it. The bad customer service was a game for the managers in most stores. I liked how every Fry's had a theme, the one in Palo Alto had a western ranch theme. I worked at store 12 that was their first brick and mortar store in Sunnyvale CA.
i think thats the location of an old compusa/tigerdirect lol
i was there on firstday its like you are five years old and first time in genuine candy store.
@@munc90 Facts!!
Reminds me of Fry’s electronics which I really miss. Really good to see stores like this making a comeback
This where the old Tiger Direct was at
yep i remember when it was a compusa lol damn i sound old
@@ShantalhaitianPrincess It actually started out as the SoftWarehouse and became CompUSA. My store was the one next to the Golden Glades interchange. I worked about 4 blocks away and would spend my lunchtime visiting.
I love the fact that it's a 10min drive from home, 2 min from work. My bank account is flinching.
266 miles from Tampa! still I may plan a trip when I am ready to buy another PC!
Same...I'm in Largo and considering the drive this coming weekend. My bank account is already crying though as I know I will have trouble not buying alot
Finally, it's open in miami
WOW didn't know they finally opened one here.
@@JoeHusosky Just opened yesterday!
@@TheToyRoom finally got to go today. Man, I miss these huge computer. Superstores. The staff was amazed that I've been a micro center customer mail order since 198 0 and this is the first time I've ever seen one of their stores
Crazy they made one here. I miss tigerdirect when it was in the same
Shopping center. This is basically the alternative to it!
I visited, it was amazingly crowded, the lines were extremely long so I just browsed and left, got a free coffee mug at the exit.
Store looks absolutely incredible one thing they are lacking on is Mini PCs like Minisforum, GMKtec, Beelink etc.
@@synen Yeah I wonder if the lines are gonna be like that every day or it was just madness for opening day
I think you definitely missed those. They had some where the CPUs are located. .. but maybe not those brands? 🤔
I was there on the same exact day in the early morning when they opened! I love the fact that the decided to open one here in Miami, we have been needing a good electronics store ever since Tiger Direct closed down in that same shopping center. The best part is that it's just 10 minutes from my house! I also love the fact that I no longer need to rely on online shopping for a lot of things and concern myself with shipping mishaps. The complimentary mug and free 128gb USB was a nice little bonus for my first visit and purchase, my wallet won't be happy, but I sure will be!
Success remains to be seen. Amazon Prime and Newegg have put CompUSA and TigerDirect out of business. When I go to the Microcenter, I will have my smartphone handy to check the price.
I remember seeing these stores in the Washington, DC area in the early 90s. Finally made it here.
I went in with a plan to buy the hp omen - a fella helped me build a powerspec and I was able to get all the features I wanted. 14900k, 4090, and a warranty. HELLLLLLLLL YEAHHHHHH
@@fasttommys 🤘🤘🤘
We NEED stores like this. Hopefully this survives and not die off like CompUSA and TigerDirect.
i went there yesterday place is heaven
We need one in Orlando too
when I moved to miami in 2015, I was so excited about tiger direct! but then they closed in no time at all lol i've been WAITING for micro center to open for years!!!
now my mrs can go to ross and I can do across the way to micro center jajajajajaja
Let’s freaking goooooo! I knew it was going to open soon but kinda forgot when. This is legit down the street from my job I can’t wait to pull up. Prob grab some storage expansion for my ally x ❤
Damn I hope we can get one in Orlando, my original MC was in Yonkers, NY and before that it was a Circuit City. When They opened, they handed out coffee mugs with a picture of the front of the store. Would love to drive down there one day to visit.
Make a road trip out of it and hit a few South FL spots! Or even drive down to the Keys after, you're basically halfway there already once you're at MC
R.I.P FRY’s. We have a Micro Center in Dallas, but it’s an old, old store.
cant wait for one to come to Orlando
Probably never happen. There’s only one in the entire state of California.
i hope one comes to Orlando next
So I'm in Tampa area and it's a 5 hour drive for me but I am so excited that there is one here in Florida now so I will take a Saturday and make the drive to just brows the stor and to get a Motherboard and CPU combo that they run awesome sales on. But glad there is one now. I enjoyed the quick video thanks
yeah im shocked that they didnt put one in Orlando first
@@ShantalhaitianPrincessorlando is a hick town
WHAT!!! Micro Center coming to SoFla. AWESOME.
I'm in Boca Raton. Need to visit one day and get some money to maybe buy something. I dont need much to be honest. very nice video
Sucks I couldn’t visit on opening day, I recently moved out away from Miami just to here they were finally opening. Gonna take me a few hours to get there now. 😅
Went there couple of days after opening, and we were feeling like two kids! Awesome store! Only 5 minutes away from our home :)
i drove from tampa to get there on opening day, the guy I was standing with in line said he drove from Orlando area. 45 mins I wish haha
@@TechhTV That's dedication!
I can foresee them maybe opening up another location near to Orlando if this location does really well and they continue to get a lot of customers from further North.
@@ProXcaliber Orlando would of made the most sense bc you have Miami Tampa Jacksonville, it’s in the middle of the state not at the bottom most south part of the USA damn near lmao
@@TechhTV I honestly don’t know why they chose this location, but I can’t say I’m mad about it 😂
45 minutes from Orlando to Miami thats pretty fast lol must have taken a plane cause i can only do one hour twenty minutes driving my car going around 100 from Lake worth to Orlando lol
I've been waiting for this location to open.
Yes I don’t have to drive to Duluth Georgia anymore from Miami it’s in my backyard now 😊😊
Ive been dying to check out one of those stores. Awesome video btw.. I would also have to drive 45 mins+ to check it out.
It's worth the drive!
Bring one to Orlando and I’ll go broke.
Im going to check it out next week. I hope I still get my free USB lol
@@T3chAndThings They seemed to have plenty in stock when I went
I had gotten my new gaming PC a month before this. I would have had them build my pc but I got the dates wrong, so I ordered one from Best Buy. So far so good, if I need to upgrade it with more MV drives I'll go to this new Micro Center.
@@tonycollazorappo Same with me I had just got a Macbook Pro from Best Buy about a month ago. If I remembered I would've waited to compare prices but I think I still got a better deal at Best Buy with my trade in
The same location that was TigerDirect Store/outlet and HQ which was something similar to Micro Center. Finally people near / in Miami can pickup the in store only specials.
Yeah they just opened up another new one here on the East Coast in North Carolina back in June
A loooooooong time coming
Drove 2 hours just for the grand opening and before grand opening of micro center..
I'll be making the drive down there from West Palm very soon!!
Best store to geek out at..thank gawd the one in Mass. Is by MIT and a bunch of universities so the employees actually know their bits and bolts
me and my buddy worked at Tiger Direct in Altamonte Springs right up until their closure. We're hoping we get one of these in Orlando but might be worth the road trip! Looks just like Tiger :O
I remember they used to be a tiger direct store at the same location back in the day.
Im gonna be a kid in a camdy store when i get back home haha
Reminds me of tiger direct. Late 90s early 2000s you can go in there custom build a pc. I miss those days. They hit a market which was fun and tech savvy. This is nostalgic. Hope they open one in Orlando.
I was needing out walking around the store
I really hope they restock before the official grand opening
@@Disorient.Official I'm sure they will
@TheToyRoom haha I'm hoping so. I had a list in my pc builder and most of it went out of stock after yesterday lmao. Safe to say I gotta get there early on Friday xD
@@Disorient.Official I think the store is open every day as of yesterday. At least according to what I saw online. So I don't think you have to wait until next week if you see the parts come back in stock. You could also do an online order when the parts come in stock that way you don't have to wait until you have time to go to the store and they'll be waiting for you when you get there!
@@TheToyRoom oh word? Ima do that rn
@@Disorient.Official Yeah as long as they have it in stock I believe you can order it and then just pick it up at the mobile order counter
Fuckin' A finally opened. Was waiting since January.
i was waiting since they put the sing up back in 2022 lol
Good vid. I visited the store and bought some parts. I do have to correct you on one thing though: Those mugs are not cheap. I'm actually thinking about grabbing a second one, lol.
@@darreno1450 The print itself felt kinda cheap
Micro Center could have built the store in Orlando, which would have been center to Florida instead of Miami, which is the very bottom. Not many people will drive 4+ hours to visit a store. Missed opportunity.
I would definitely make that drive, considering the next closest store would have been Georgia.
plane tickets are around $50 to $100 round trip from Orlando to Miami takes an hour or two including boarding and checkin
This is dope. I live in Miami and had no idea. Will definitely check them out. Thanks! 🔥
I’m more of a console type gamer, but if depends, I sometimes game on the pc. I recently bought a Dell XPS 9570 32RAM, 1TB off eBay in very good condition and I’m having a blast. If I go to a pc building route, I’m definitely heading to Micro Center for some tips and guide.
@@BSmokeyGaming Same with me I prefer console over PC
My favorite thing is to look at the cases and display them.
The prices are not very different from MSRP but man, they have so much tech
There's a RadioShack at that mall too!!!!
Bro filmed the video and decided to film the floor for all of us
In chicago Microcenter was like this 30 years ago then say 10 years they don’t carry much in stock anymore more empty as for the tech bar they had that for 15 years then they moved away from it We have super plain basic now Microcenter. I was in Miami Beach but Microcenter was not open yet - have fun
Thanks for the video got a little dizzy but all good.
@@ivanrodriguez7426 yeah sorry for that I was using the super steady mode on my camera but with the lightning in the store it wasn't working right. I noticed it when editing the video
Cool, all I need is money now
I feel you on that!
Man looks so much better than the one near me
Yay 🎉
we definitely need one in tampa. all we got is pos best buy.
I was there the Friday before it opened, lines longer than Disney
I wish they would open one in West Palm Beach.
Pc components start here: 9:35
I'm glad that there's a finally Micro Center in Florida. I was going to go during that time you did and I'm glad I didn't because I cannot stand being in those types of lines, I probably would have walked out lol. Those 128 gigabyte USB and mugs are cool but I'll wait till the hype dies down and then make my way down there. Just like you it's also distance away from me, at least a 35 minute drive in the best traffic.
I had a friend who went the other day he said the lines weren't bad at all. It was just that initial opening day that was crazy
@@TheToyRoom good know. I'll check it out soon
I went there this weekend, and the lines weren't as bad as the first few days, but parking was still very difficult. This store will see tons of traffic since it's located near a Costco as well.
It’s it in the same place where Tiger Direct was?
I went on Saturday night around 7 PM and there were many people, but no long lines to pay. Best Buy is dead now-a-days, at least from the last 4 times I've gone. Micro Center has sooo much and the staff is attentive!
@@joeh3445 Awesome! How was the inventory? Fully stocked?
@@TheToyRoom I went just this weekend after going during opening week last week, and the shelves were much more empty than those first initial days.
I think I was leaving when you were arriving!
@@audguy It's possible!
I want to go down there one day and see the store. I just ordered my new parts from Newegg not realizing that microcenter was opening. It’s all good though because the store is about an hour and a half south of me so it’s a bit of a trip to get there.
Nice little road trip!
Definitely worth the drive in my opinion!
Tiger direct like back in the days up in midway mall.
It reminds me of Circuit City.
Why not make one in Tampa?
Thank you bro going this labor day weekend
Someone is gonna rob this place soon in Miami lol
I live in St. Pete Tampa and im so jealous
Tiger Direct was in that same place!
@@lioalarcon2336 Really?? I had no idea there was even a Tiger Direct down here
@@TheToyRoom there where many in Florida lol the one in that building was the head quarters for Compusa then Tigerdirect when they bought them out my dad used to work there back then
40 minutes , i only planning go when they offer those combos cpu and board that , i been see for so long in the time.
I’m can’t wait to go there
@@Cinderblock1005 It's awesome!
@@TheToyRoom been buying from them since 1979. Apple II days and PC later
@@JoeHusosky Sweet! I'm surprised it's taken this long to get one in Florida
Looks just like an old Best Buy, they didn’t even try with the floor 😂 but glad there is a micro center now
it used to be compusas headquarters then Tigerdirects headquarters when they bought out Compusa also i think it used to be a circuit city or sound advice before compusa had it lol
Best Buy is going out of business😅
Bring one to Arizona
Need one in Tampa.
wait is that location where the old circuit city /Sound advice ones where or was it compusa/Tigerdirect?
@@ShantalhaitianPrincess From what people are saying it was Tiger Direct
This video gave me motion sickness!
Isn't that by where that new stadium is supposed to be built
This is like the old CompUSA with newer products
they should make a simulation rooms for gamers to go in there and play actual games...that would be legit.
Great stuff.
I was a big fan of going to CompUSA in the late 90s and 2000s. Sadly they went out of business. Once TigerDirect took over it was never the same. Bestbuy sort of had some computer building stuff and they price match but the variety of parts was not as vast as CompUSA. Dang I miss CompUSA.
I plan to go to this MC one day.
Did this store have any RTX 4090s and AIO water cooling kits? Also did you go to this store on a weekend as it looks pretty busy?
@@Gman2002 I didn't get a good look at all the graphics cards they had. I'm fairly certain they did have cooling kits. And no I haven't been back since this day but others in the comments have been and they said it was busy but the lines weren't like they were in this video
@@TheToyRoom good stuff and hope to check that place out one day. Great content my man. 👍🏾
@@Gman2002 Thanks! Appreciate it! 👊
I was there on this same day. They have everything you mentioned, you can literally go there and pick out all the components to build a custom PC without needing to rely on online storefronts, which is my favorite part. And during the entire first week it was definitely super busy, I went just this weekend and it was still VERY busy. The problem with the area they chose is that it is very central, and it is the only one in the entire state, so you will see a ton of people all the time. Their parking lot is also very small, so parking is always a challenge. Oh, and it also shares a space with a Costco, so it will see a ton of traffic for that as well.
@@ProXcaliber got it. May make sense to go early on a work day or something. Thanks for the tip ProX.
finally
What separates this company from places like Best Buy, etc? Genuinely curious as ive never heard of this place before.
It carries a lot of the stuff that Best Buy doesn't carry in stores, mainly PC components and general electronics. A perfect example is you can go here and pick out every individual component to build a custom PC setup, and you can even browse selections of PC peripherals, 3D printers, cables of all kinds, a ton of networking gear, a ton of home server and audio gear, and much more. It is amazing that we got one of these here in Miami, and I'd highly recommend a visit!
loved the video, you know it would be awesome if they open another one in boca or fort Lauderdale or something.
I think if this store does well they will
I don't think they would, they have a tradition of not opening stores too close to one another. If they do open another store, it will likely be much further up North, like Orland or Tampa.
Broward is to close lol if they open another one in Florida it will be in Orlando or Jacksonville that way they cover the whole state
Oh, I didn't know we were getting a Micro Center. Hopefully they'll do another in Fort Lauderdale or out by Sawgrass. I hate driving to Miami for anything.
@@trollerbladdering Sawgrass would make sense I could see that happening!
I don't think they will, they usually open one store per state, at least according to maps and their online store.
yea its a $$$ area then the probably like build one there. 20 minutes from me, better lol
That was the old Tiger Direct
The sould went to orlando that sucks to far to drive.
buy a plane ticket much faster and cheap
Camera moving too fast - up, down, up, down got vertigo - other than that, great work.
@@glowl332 I'll be honest I was using super steady mode on my phone and the lighting in Micro Center wasn't that great so it made it look a jittery. I didn't notice until editing the video
Both of the deconstructed devices were laptops
@@WhymMC Thanks I wasn't sure!
Why Miami, they need one in Orlando
Micro Center JAX Please!!
@@33SkyFox33 Micro Center let's make it happen!
were there chairs and a desk?
@@juancuesta7630 Yes!
