Where to buy Electronic Components in Tech Center Area?? (Denver: for sale, 2009)

[Tom63376]

Looking for a place to buy electronic parts like Capacitors, Resistors,
IEC Plugs etc for some projects I want to build. Radioshack is costly
for buying parts and the selection isn't all that great.

Thanks..

My best guess would be Micro Center. North of 225 and east of 25. Not as good as Fry's Electronics but a good second choice.

I looked there and they just seem to have computer parts.. No individual electrical components
like capacitors or resistors..

I order by mail from Mouser. They have everything and no minimum order requirements.

I think most are gone now. There used to be places like Fistells(sp) in Denver that had about anything you'd ever want, but I'm pretty sure they're gone now.

Best bet is Mouser as stated above.

Remember tech america (radio shack) on Colorado near I-25? Sigh.

I wish Fry's would come to Denver. Walking through their store(s) in Sacramento just before X-mas reminded me how deprived we are.

Yes we are still open!
