    figured id post this here since i could not post it in the news section. clubit and pc club are gone forever. they have officially closed and from what i understand are in the process of sending thing back to vendors now.

    www.clubit.com for more info or to see the closed page. wish anyone luck who out outstanding orders. i used them for years with never a single issue and their cust support was awesome.

    wish their employees the best since they didnt find out till today they were being let go.. that sucks

    Yep, bankrupt. Didn't even notify their staff. They still owe a heck of a lot of money to people too. I hope the execs' hide cuz there's going to be a lot of people gunning for them.

    For local I use Fry's. (and hate it)
    For online orders I use Newegg. (and love it)

    PC Club was OK, I suppose. But their prices were higher than average and selection was poor.

    I'm surprised they lasted this long.

    Interesting! Everytime I ordered from PC Club, they had lower prices than Newegg and had very good selection. Newegg typically has good memory prices though.

    if they were purchased then the buyer shouldve acquired all debts as well so their orders will either be canceled and money returned or they will get the stuff they ordered

    I shopped in their physical stores, not online.

    Their shop floors were generally vacant with scattered generic brand components stacked about.

    Their employees seemed ok.
