My two cents on CPU. While I may not buy big ticket items such as a laptop or desk PC from CPU, I will buy something that I need quickly. For example, I recently purchased a refurb laptop from Onsale. Once I got it, I decided that I wanted a modem also, instead of waiting to win a bid on a small ticket item and save ten bucks, I instead run to the local CPU and purchase it. I guess I'm willing to wait when I am going to save a decent amount of money (100+), but when it comes down to items where the difference is a few bucks it isn't worth the wait. I purchase almost all my peripherals and software at CPU. Items needed that day would almost be enough to keep the brick and mortar going along with the newbies. Also, I still do not see the trust in credit card transactions with the average computer user yet either.
