Any computer mega stores?

Hi,

I was wondering if there are any mega computer stores around here like a CompUSA-type place? I went to the computer market at Wan Chai (which was fun) but was wondering if anyone has taken computer retail to the nth level?

Guess I'm a bit spoiled coming from a place that had CompUSA, Best Buy, Circuit City, Microcenter, and a Frys all within easy driving distance.

What would you have found in CompUSA that you cant find in Wanchai Computer Center? You can even find the occasional pimply faced geek behind the counter in Wanchai.

You might want to try Star Computer City for a couple of slightly larger shops.

To be honest, there was nothing I couldn't find in Wan Chai. It blows away a CompUSA. I was just wondering what else HK has to offer.

Have you visited Golden Shopping Arcade in Sham Shui Po? That is the computer/console shopping haven of HK.

There has been a couple of attempts of building a mega store here but with the volumes and competition at these computer malls, no mega store can match the price and selection. Don't expect great service though :-)

A more refined computer mart is Windsor House in Causeway Bay; 10-12 Fl.
