Pros:
Microcenter carries a broad selection of computer and electronic parts. If you're building a new system, or upgrading and repairing an old system there's a good chance they'll carry what you need to get the job done.
Convenience. I love Newegg and other online parts dealers. However there often times when you need to see and handle a product. Or you just can't wait for 3-4 days for a part to be delivered. This where MC really shines.
It's well located. Squished between everything, and yet far removed enough from everything so that traffic isn't a beast. I love that I'm able to get in and out in fairly quick time.
They do a fairly admirable job of keeping pricing similar to what you'd find online. Not always, and not with every product, but certainly better than other retail stores like Best Buy.
Cons:
Microcenter doesn't necessarily carry a deep selection of computer and electronic parts. It's hard to knock them for this too badly as there's only so much retail space and they just can't carry every possible make of a product. However don't expect to have the same kind of selection you'd encounter with online retailers.
Level of knowledge can vary. Seems like a no-brainer, but not every employee is going to be able to help answer a particular question. I've found some employees are more helpful/useful than others. Still, better on the whole than what I've found at places like Best Buy, Radio Shack, etc...
Pricing can be outrageous on some products. Major components (graphics cards, power supply units, etc...) are often similar in price to online retailers. Watch the little stuff though. Example: trying to sell a bottle of rubbing alcohol (cleaning agent) for almost $20. Can find the same product for $2 at Walgreens.
All in all, Cincinnati is fortunate to have a store like Microcenter. It's not perfect for every situation, but it does enough things right, enough of the time.
