The New York Times recently ran a story about Halted Specialties, the Silicon Valley electronics store. Wow, almost makes you want to move to the area,

I tend the agree with this reviewer - their prices are pretty high for surplus stock.
A fun shop nearby is Weird Stuff

Frys, HRO and Weird Stuff are on a little circuit that I always try to visit when I am in San Jose on business.
