If you love tinkering and want to do it on the cheap, you have to come here. Youll need to explore everything. Products are labeled, and there is pretty good sense to how theyre organized. Its not going to be as easy to find what youre looking for as a consumer / commercial store, but youll get what you buy for a good price!

I think my expectations were wrong. As a PNW native I was expecting something more along the lines of RE-PC but instead it was more like surplus office stuff. There were some really nice benches for sale. Keep in mind theyre also in the middle of moving so take that into mind as well. Im not from SJ so maybe I just went at a bad time. Id go again after the move is over.

This place is huge. Same as the size of weird stuff (rip) has more random and helpful stuff. Aises of wires and cabinets, computers and household electronics. You want server stuff? Wire stuff? Plugs and sockets? This place is your place. Hours are accurate, they have rock playing in the background. Ring the bell up at the desk for service.They have dual arm heavy duty solid monitor mounts for 60, vacuum tubes for 1.00

An amazing assortment of electronic parts for hobbyists/engineers to browse. They took in the inventory from HSC Electronic Supply, so if you got parts from there chances are they have them here!

If paradise exists, it must look similar to this place.The inside looks somewhat like a warehouse, and right after I entered inside, I felt like if I had just finished a 00s PC game and got all levels and items unlocked. Imagine all those electronic elements, including rare and vintage parts, finally available at hand.You dont need to wait for eBay delivery or wonder if the package from China makes it to your home.My advice for the owner. It would be good to have something like shared working spaces where hobbyists could use provided tools (like soldering irons, oscilloscopes, etc.) and pay for the day (or maybe a monthly fee?) plus the cost of used elements.Why am I suggesting that? Especially here, in CA the living space is expensive, and not everyone could afford to keep tons of electronic stuff at home.

Always love going here and browsing the huge selection of stuff! They always have new things and it’s a great place to find one off electronic parts without having to wait for shipping from China. They have a student discount which is super nice and keeps me coming back!

The last electronics store in Silicon Valley. They bought the remnants of the others that closed.Make sure to support them if you can. Their land was recently purchased by a huge company, and they might need to relocate. Visit while you can!

Looking for office stuffs like steel drawers filing cabinets, hazmat cabinets, open wood racks and computer desks....and much more and here you could haggle with the price. Though most of it are pre owned stuffs but still decent looking to reuse.

This is a great place to get many things that you may need, electronics and computer parts of all kinds are their main focus, as well as test equipment and other things, like audio equipment, office furniture, and even traffic lights!

All the small components you could possibly want are here and then some. Things you didnt know you needed could most likely be found here as well.Dont expect the newest of things here, but if you know exactly what youre looking for, Im sure you could find it here, or the staff can point you in the right direction. They know this entire warehouse top to bottom.
