You didn't look very hard. If you want components there are dozens of
stores that sell resistors, capacitors, solid state devices,
transformers, leds, wires in all variety of guages, cables of infinite
design and length. If you want computer parts then you find everything
from Z80s and Apple IIc up to the latest CPUs and video cards. Want a
battery for a 1990s laptop? Right there.
