Not really.  Most others suck just as badly (CR, Computers by Malone) or
cost more (PC Support).  Futureware (near 120th & L, they're probably in the
phone book) seems to have a good selection of quality components (very 
important!  most local places get that wrong) but I don't know if they sell
to individuals.

Your best bet is to get out a credit card and go online, or even eBay.  I've
almost had better luck with used stuff off eBay than I have with new stuff
bought locally :)  eBay also rules for systems & components that you can't
aquire locally (never try to buy an sbus card for a Sun in Omaha).
