I had heard bad things about Microcenter (not corroborated but enough to worry me) and I took my computer to Blue Angel (I think that's the name) in the Harvard Vanguard building. Its kind of a strange looking place, sharing a store with a cell phone store and lots of signs and old software hanging around. The person who does the repairs there is a little bit of an odd duck who sometimes talks a bit too much (I think his name is Peter.) It took a long time to fix the computer but I'll give him credit - the price was good and then he helped me out for free when I needed some drivers reinstalled after I reinstalled Windows XP.
So in brief, if you have some time and are willing to deal with eccentricity, I think its worth a try.
