Same way that CompUSA still has a website - it's basically yet another online storefront for TigerDirect. I'm sure they bought CompUSA website rights for just the name recognition - same with CircusCity.

I'm so glad to se Circuit City again, it might be now online only, it might look like Tiger Direct and Compusa, but it will be much better than that HH Gregg people.
I just hope they open some stores, like they did with CompUsa.

I was at one of their NJ outlets in October last year while on a visit to US. It did not surprise me that they went out of business. Most of the sales persons were so stupid it was not funny. They had ZERO product knowledge about absolutely anything.

Systemax would be well advised not to go into brick and mortar store unless they plan not to hire any prior employee.
