In any good sized town, there will probably be a store where the hardware geeks shop. Ask one of them where to go. Ask the clerk for a recommendation. You'll know you're in the right place because most of the customers know exactly what they want, many of them will appear to be assembling computers part by part. and (in my locat store) hard drived are in the anti-static wrappers instead of huge boxes. It will be cheaper, too. When I got my burner, for example, on hearing I wanted it for archival work, the clerk steered me away from the more expensive Sony to a Pioneer unit. He claimed every one told him it was faster and more accurate.
