Exactly. And unfortunately, the other go-to response, “just go to a physical store,” is rarely an option since even in major areas as even major chains like Radio Shack and Fry’s, not to mention all the small local shops that used to exist, have gone under.

Yeah I’m definitely jealous of the people who have a Microcenter nearby. We had Radio Shack and a Fry’s 45 minutes away and both are gone now. Fry’s came in clutch when my old AM3 backing plate snapped in half and my CPU cooler fell off. They had one in stock and I was able to buy just the backing plate by itself. If I’d gone to Best Buy, they’d probably just look at me weird and tell me I’d need to buy a whole new computer.
