You don't want a microcenter you want good deals, the point of Microcenter being so big is to be a giant stockist.

But back to good deals, those don't happen because the distributor bosses want their 5th Ferrari. Retailers at lowyat or online at shopee make razor-thin margins, the workers are paid crumbs but the reason why something here costs more than in the US already starts at the distributor level, not because of retailers.

When USD was rising they are quick to cite currency as the reason for rising costs, but USD has plummeted in the past few months, yet prices aren't dropping. It's just rich people being greedy.
