Today I’m touring Micro Center, Silicon Valley’s first big computer store in years.

The SF Bay Area used to have lots of PC stores. Most got wiped out! But Micro Center has returned to Santa Clara, CA, and it’s a joy to browse. (Yes, the store reportedly sold dozens of GPUs that turned out to be backpacks; the company hasn’t yet answered my questions.)

BTW, you’ll see a special gold GPU in this video, signed by Nvidia’s CEO. It’s now up for charity, with bidding at $8,600.
