    3D printing systems
    Kenny T.

    Micro Center is my go-to spot whenever I need video or audio equipment. Their customer service is consistently excellent--knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely helpful without being pushy. They usually have very good sales, and even their regular prices are competitive. The product selection is massive. You'll find everything from 3D printers and PC components to immersive gaming systems and professional audio/video gear. Honestly, it's hard to walk in here and not leave with something. Whether I go in with a specific need or just to browse, I almost always find something worth buying. Highly recommended if you're into tech, gaming, or content creation.

    I give it 5 stars because there are sooooooo many electronic things here! Tons of different Phone cases, 3D Printers, Laptops, Keyboards and Headphones etc. So many brands here!! Full disclosure I am not tech savvy and I came here with my hubby...he's the tech savvy one. :) Price wise I can't tell you if they are more expensive or not. But I can say is...if you need something for your computer, this place should hopefully have it. This place reminds me of Fry's Electronics but 2.0...without those themed design in store. Like seriously there were tons to look at! No worries...there are workers here to help you if you have questions. They were very nice.

    I make the trip to Micro Center once in a blue moon, and recently came here with my husband because he needed some thermal paste ASAP. We were hoping for more variety and higher quality options, but did manage to find an acceptable MX-4 one in a box of a bunch of random ones stored all together above the shelves where most of them were displayer. I think they have pretty decent pricing, came here once to take advantage of a really good deal for a 3D printer for like $100 and have gotten some decently priced filament here. Parking gets kind of tight on the weekends.

    Lucas literally saved my life! Honestly, I was looking for labels everywhere all around Orange County. All I had to do was come to Micro Center and Lucas helped me out and found the labels all for me! Thank you, Lucas!!

    Cilantro key switches from akko!

    Went in with my boyfriend for the second time looking for creamy switches for my keyboard and a gift for his friend. We were looking around for switches and keyboards when Caleb asked us if we had any questions, it was perfect timing! He quickly got to advising us on what switches make certain sounds and feels, and how many we needed:) He got the boxes for the proper amount like he read our minds! We ended up getting headphones as well, he told us which ones were wireless and wired, what we'd use them for, and different brands to choose from. It's almost like he knew exactly what we needed, both switches and headphones are perfect! Caleb if you're seeing this, you're great! Thank you for all your help.Keep it up:)

    Located on Edinger and Del Amo Avenues with plenty of parking. This is the only full-on computer store that I know of, and I love having Micro Center around. Big selection of all computer parts, software, gaming supplies, electronics, printer ink, etc. My husband is a DIY computer enthusiast, so this is his go-to store. We've also ordered online and simply picked up at the store. They have a 'Build-Your-Own' area and a 'Tech-Bar' for computer support. Shout out to Baldwin, who assisted us on the floor. He was very attentive and helped us find the right computer parts with such a great attitude. Excellent customer service! It has always been a great experience here and will definitely return.

    Thanks again guys! You helped me to build an awesome rig and I appreciate all the help along the way!

    See all

    Ask the Community - Micro Center

    Can I bring an open drink inside?

    Why?

    Can I bring my small dog with me to Micro Center?

    I believe you can as long if it's a service dog or it's small enough to fit in your purse.

    Can I make an appointment for Data Migration services?

    No. Because the store works off commission and foot traffic, service is available on a first-come, first-serve, basis at any Micro Center retail location.

    Do they fix 3D printers?

    Highly unlikely. Micro Center tech bar mainly fixes computer hardwares and softwares like PCs, laptops, and BiOS update. For more information, visit https://www.microcenter.com/site/service/instore-service-diagnostics.aspx

    Can I get the creality ender 3 pro with the first time shopping at microcenter discount delivered?

    If you are purchasing in store, they do not ship or have it delivered to your location. You would have to ship it to yourself at a local shipping center. However, on the website, you can change "Your Store" to "Shippable Items" to see if that item… Read more

    Do you buy used devices (microsoft surface)?

    No. They don't have electronic recycle unlike Best Buy or Apple. No trade in. That way, they can promote sales and force you to buy new parts.

    Why is there no direct number to your Tustin store?

    No, there is no direct number because the store employees work off of commission. Also, the managers want to drive foot traffic to the store for sales.

    Do you guys build pcs? I have some parts still in the box from Christmas a few years back. If yes, how much do you charge? Thank you!

    Hi Aiden! Yes, we do offer build services. Pricing does vary based on what the build entails, however, starts at $149.99. No appointment necessary! For more info on our build services, please visit:… Read more

    Are you open on President's Day?

    Yes. Regular store hours.

    How are GPU sales being handled? Are they still by waitlist signups?

    Last I heard was that you go early before opening and scan some QR code they have posted daily. Then you wait in your car and wait for a random text that says to pick up inside if you are chosen in the lottery. Last time I was in they did have a… Read more

    Do you guys accept PayPal or other forms of payment?

    The only form of payment they accept is cash, credit cards, and Tap to Pay.

    Do you guys offer military discount?

    They do not offer any military discount. The only discount they offer is for the Micro Center Insider Card and price match with competitors (has to be shipped and sold).

    What days so they receive gpu shipments?

    GPU shipments are random one of the managers decides on when to raffle them off. They are on a first-come, first serve basis via raffle system.

    Are they open on Easter?

    Micro Center is closed on Easter Sunday.

    I am wondering if there is a line outside that is waiting for graphics card, does micro center honor that line system or?

    Hi there, yes there is

    Do they have the rtx cards available everyday...also how early do you think I have to be there to secure an rtx card?

    Not every day, and there is a line on the sidewalk where people camp out for cards. Here is a video from the line: https://youtu.be/PSeR8ir3rK0

    Is curbside pickup available?

    No curbside pick up available.

    Do you take appointments to get in or is just walk-in?

    The store is walk-in only and is on a first-come-first-serve basis for the tech bar. This is how they drive sales and foot traffic into the store.

    When is it usually not busy?

    Never, especially since Fry's is dead and they're the only source for pc components and micro parts outside of online.

I came in on a tight time schedule and told Sean exactly what I needed. He listened first, then acted. He did not try to upsell or redirect me.

He explained everything clearly and concisely, giving me the key information without wasting time or relying on a scripted pitch. He is extremely knowledgeable and knows how to communicate in a way that respects the customer's time. In many retail situations, you end up having to repeat yourself or push back on suggestions you did not ask for. That did not happen here. Sean understood the assignment, executed it seamlessly, and had me in and out in about 20 minutes. Sean is the prototype of how sales and customer service should be done. Professional, sharp, and fully aware of the customer's situation. Thank you again, Sean. I truly appreciate your help. Desireé
