If you asked me to pick my favorite place of business in the Bay Area, it would have to be the ephemeral Kwik-e-Mart nay 7-11 on Shoreline Boulevard in Mountain View.
If you asked me to pick my second favorite place, before today it would have been Fry's Electronics. However, as of today I have a new second favorite. HSC in Santa Clara. I can't believe I've lived in the Bay Area for almost a decade and hadn't heard of HSC until today. Every electronics component I've ever needed, but couldn't find anywhere, I could have bought at HSC for a bargain price.
I needed a dozen BNC-RCA adapters. They've got them.
A dozen RG-59/U twist connectors? They've got those, too.
Mono 6' RCA cables? A mere $0.99 each.
And while I would categorize those electronics components as fringe (and probably unavailable) at any other electronics store, I would categorize them as mainstream (and highly available) at HSC. HSC has everything an imaginative electronics hobbyist's mind can possible imagine.
It seems the only thing they don't have is advertisement.
I could spend hours at this place.

Mom — 2009-11-08 13:47:36 US/Pacific —Wow! Wish we had one in Texas! |
Stacey — 2009-11-28 21:07:06 US/Pacific —Oh, crap. I'll never see Shane again. Thanks for ruining my marriage. |
