Micro Center soft opened its Silicon Valley store with a truckload of GPUs.

The grand opening is tomorrow at 10AM PT, but you can already go shop — I even got a special look inside its GPU-filled stockroom! There’s a buttload of cards, including an RTX 5090 signed by Jensen (not for sale), plenty of AMD 9070, and it’ll have “very limited quantities” of Founders Edition (including the 5090 FE) tomorrow. Maybe open the boxes before you leave, though.

The highlight for me: a 12-foot-tall motorized revolving 3D filament wall which dispenses your color of choice.

<em>I didn’t buy this pricy GPU; that was a friend of mine.</em>
