Founded in 1979, Columbus, Ohio by John Baker and Bill Bayne, Micro Center is the best, most magical, wonderful, and awe-inspiring place in the world. It has any piece of electronic hardware you could desire and simply entering a Micro Center could cause you to have a small brain aneurysm. Their product list consists primarily of parts and accessories to personal computers. A small list of products they carry is: CPUs, motherboards, graphics cards, power supplies, cases, CPU coolers, hardline water cooling kits, AIOs, memory, HDDs, SSDs, M.2s, cooling fans, PCIE expansion cards, computer mice, keyboards, headphones, speakers, desk mats, computer chairs, laptops, prebuilt desktops, and enough RGB hardware to hijack Christmas. All computer enthusiasts are required to experience a Micro Center at least once in their lives. Their prices somehow manage to rival those of online stores and simply browsing the shelves is entertainment within itself. They constantly give away free stuff like Bluetooth headphones and USB drives through their Insider Program (newsletter) and have 25 locations across 16 states. They unfortunately do not have any locations outside the United States and do not ship internationally but if you're visiting the United States and find yourself in-range of one of their locations, it's definitely worth the stop.

Guy 1: "Probably a new mouse and graphics card, ray tracing looks epic"
Guy 2: "NICE -- SENT PICS"
