You forget that the average PC user wouldn't know the difference. Which is exactly what stores like office depot and best buy prey upon.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

You'd think they'd at least have an actual PCI card section with GPU's and sound cards, etc, though.

Agreed, but it can kind of be overlooked as there are USB sound cards.

I'd be surprised that they even had that section. I'm still surprised that best buy sells fans, specifically only one brand, that starts with an A, and if you look at it you can just tell it's complete shit...

Technically, there's USB video cards too.

Really?  I've never actually heard of that.

I have an office depot within walking distance of home, like 2 blocks away. Let me tell you they haven't got shit for hardware: they sell some decent laptops, an arraw of crap AIOs and a metric ton of chinese tablets.

 

However it's still very useful for me as the nearest store me where I can get some basic peripherals and stuff: I got my keyboard, mouse, several cables, usb hub and tons of air cans from them, simply because they're close to me. That's a valuable service still even if their selection is shit.
