About CompUSA
CompUSA was a major US computer and electronics retail chain that operated from the late 1980s through 2008, when financial difficulties led to the closure of all physical stores. The brand was subsequently acquired and relaunched as an online-only electronics and computer retailer, carrying computers, components, peripherals, networking equipment, and electronics.
During its physical store era, CompUSA was a destination for computer enthusiasts, offering extensive selections of components, software, peripherals, and new computer systems. Their technical staff and in-store repair services made them a trusted resource in the pre-big-box-electronics era.
The current CompUSA.com operates as an online electronics retailer under the systemax umbrella, carrying computers, networking, storage, and electronics with a focus on B2B and consumer technology products. Prices and selection are competitive with TigerDirect (a sister brand).
