Google is great, but it's hard to find computer shows/sales as so many
websites use those words without actually having any info.
froogle.google.com is great for getting deals on most stuff, but
unfortunately what I'm looking for is something that is normally only cheap
at a computer show/sale.  Patch panels.  Plus I find them kind of fun so I
just thought I'd ask.  Coming from Chicago where there was a computer
show/sale about once every 2-3 months.

Thanks,
Gamble
