This sounds like a post I made a couple years ago, when they announced they'd be shuttering completely.  Last time I went there I needed a USB->PS/2 keyboard adapter... The system in question would only go into the bios menu from a PS/2 keyboard.

Yeah, one of the two in Phx was like that... the other was converted from an Incredible Universe store iirc.  At the height, both were places to go to pretty regularly.  Unfortunately, the customer service was so bad, that even dealing with Amazon or Newegg and return shipping is easier.
