Ah yes, I used to go to a Microstar in west Tampa (when I lived out there
circa 8 years ago) (the first one?), and it had a good selection of older
hardware. It was where I got my keyboard (http://www.modelm.org/) for $6
or $8. They may have changed; they opened a store in Carrollwood (when I
worked there) that had little hardware, and was mostly software.

I never asked them a question relate to Linux, so I can't assess their
knowledge there. I recommend them for hardware.
