Is is any wonder why I’ve pretty much given up home building a computer? You can’t touch anything close to this for that kind of price, even getting the cheapest parts from online and local vendors (not factoring time wasted at Frequently Returning Your Shit, naturally).

As soon as you walk in you see this line that looks like a roller coaster line which happens to be there returns department. Seems to me its not moving very fast and sometimes I have seen it go out the doorway. I also hear that FRYS stands for Frequently Returning Your Shit.
