They're fairly comparable with online prices (though it's hard to beat NewEgg) and have the advantage that you can run in there and go home with a bag of parts, and build your new computer before the FedEx man could get it to you. What they're really great for is things like cables and connectors where the shipping would murder you, especially from the places that don't combine shipping if you're getting five three-dollar parts and they all fit in one envelope. I've gotten everything from computers to canned air from them, and I love the place. Their website will give you a good idea of their prices.
Hmmm ... Trader Joe's doesn't do malls, but maybe they could go across the street, next door to Harbor Freight? I'm not sure what's worse -- the fact that the nearest Trader Joe's is over a hundred miles away, or the fact that I go there anyway. (a couple of big styrofoam coolers, the kind from Omaha Steaks, with gel ice blocks in them, will keep TJ's frozen stuff frozen long enough to get home, and a chest freezer stores it between trips).
