Sadly yep. Micro Center is just about the only PC component supplier I'll buy from nowadays, but I have to drive like 4 hours to get to my nearest one

Checking in from Vancouver Island. Nearest one is 26hrs away.

I did love them when I was living in California and could be there in an hour. Now I take my chances with online sellers like Amazon.
