Last Wednesday I stopped into CompUSA.com just to see what is going on. I was hoping they would have a list of stores bought out by Systemax (aka. Tigerdirect) and the local CompUSA would be on the list. Instead, I saw that someone on the CompUSA web team had been having some fun. This image contains some of what I saw:
If you would like to see the full context I printed the page to PDF: CompUSA.com’s Modified Monitors. Do note that I created the image above using their monitor images. The logo is from their site, but the “MONITOR MANIA” was added by me (Futura Extra Bold Oblique).
I would love to know the story behind this. It’s just great that they got their faces into the site at the last minute.
I am leaving the following search bait for others searching on this topic:
ViewSonic VA2026w 20-inch LCD Monitor, Black/Silver
AL2216Wbd 22-inch LCD Monitor, Black
H190L 19-inch LCD Monitor, Silver/Black – Product Number: 342045 – Brand: Envision
I got a better price on a 22 inch Acer from Circuit City on Black Friday ($229 – $60 Rebate).
I picked up a few items at CompUSA tonight, but I didn’t buy anything special since even their closeout prices are still too high on many things.
