Actually Best Buy, their biggest competitor of the bunch is closer to 40% computer related...I know it's hard to tell looking at the stores. I agree that CPU is left as sole 100% computer chain, but the items stocked at the other stores are the 20% of the products that drive 80% of the volume. Their presence and advertised specials severely constrain CPU's margins. Despite the growth in the net, these chains still represent the largest source of competition for CPU.
