When you first go into hard drives northwest its like going into a car dealership.. You see a few computers on pedestals and you see a lot of desks with sales people dressed in suits! You find one who isn't doing anything and they ask how they can help you.. They take your order you pay for it then its sent to the back room, and you go to the pick up area to get your equipment. It is very odd as you cannot see much of anything because there's no stock out in the show room floor. I would say its probably more for people who either don't know exactly what they want or more for people who like to feel like they are buying a car rather than a computer. Not necessarily bad just different. Their prices are a bit higher, but they usually price match local prices..
