CompUSA: Can you build your own computer?
This has got to be a geeks’ fantasy come true.
On Saturday, at its new Palm Beach Gardens store at 3942 Northlake Blvd., CompUSA challenges all comers in Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast to put together a computer in the fastest time. There are spots for 10 people every hour to compete.
The winner from each heat will be invited back on Sunday for the final competition. The winner takes home a 32-inch Toshiba LCD TV.
The store will provide a cheat sheet of sorts. But we all know there are guys out there that do this as a side business to their day job. Already 100 people have signed up in advance.
My questions is: What’s the store going to do with all those newly assembled PCs?
