"You can get better products (& SERVICE) for about the same or less from your local neighborhood white box/clone computer store."

Yes ... if you can find it, that is. Guess what's in the stores in the local mall though? Big name brands. Guess which get the lion's share of advertising time in your area? Big name brands. Simply finding these "local" stores probably means actually actively searching for them. Most people will probably be unaware whether one even exists near them, let alone what it's called and where it is. And of course the local Future Shop or similar big electronics chain store is going to push them out of business at some point in the near future.
