      True; the closest for me is about 100 miles away. You lose so much in gas costs and time getting there and back. I think they would be a gold mine if they started on-line sales, but that's me.

    I have seen in the past from Costco: A Razer bundle of keyboard, mouse, headset and XL desk pad. For monitors, there is a LG Ultragear 32" VA panel 165HZ 1440p Widescreen on sale for $225. And this sale price happens very often. I had to buy 2 off sale. Then went to Customer Service and talked to them about it. Being an Executive Member, I didn't need my receipt, they looked it up and gave me back the difference, $140.

    my first gaming build.. actually, assembly from other PC parts was i think around 1997? i remember switching parts out to other computer and the moment i was shaking and scared to press power on. the thouight i would fried the pc. it turn on and works except the graphic was limited. the color was in white black and purple. i went to the school and went to the school lab and ask the technician for help. he gave me a book and some free stuff like games. surirpsely he had tons of video games in the backroom. then i learn to find drivers for hardware and stuff. this is all without internet at the time. i learn things reading book, download drivers on floppy disk at school and bring it home.
    the time i was messing with computer from 44mhz cpu to 233mhz to 400mhz. then the time i had first purchase a 933mhz computer with cd burner was felt so fast and smooth. now computer runs with ssd and multi core which is smoother but doesnt feel any faster in term of leap and bonds of monster power. i dont really get those feeling of speed anymore. it seem to hit the wall of speedyness.

    The only advantage I think Costco has because you pay for a membership. You get an extended warranty almost free. If you buy the warranty at Walmart. It could end up being a more expensive purchase. That’s why I buy my OLED TV’s from Costco. They usually upgrade the warranty and if I had bought the same TV at Best Buy I would spend more money on warranties when Costco offers the same warranty and service for free in a sense. Yes there is a yearly membership fee at Costco. The membership fee end up paying for itself.

    As a german, I can only dream of those prices you're getting in the USA... I just bought a USED 27" 165Hz 1440p 1 year old monitor for 220€ (240$) and over at Costco you can buy a NEW 31,5" 165Hz 1440p Monitor for only 179,99$. Hurts sooo much.
