Tigerdirect = CompUSA
 
Yeah, they're both owned by Systemax now.

Same layout, same products, same prices, same "Top Sellers," same buttons, pretty much the same everything:

That's pretty funny. I never would have guessed.

OT:
My parents bought a desktop back in '97 from Systemax, and it is still working good today as file server. Damn thing fell off of a 7' high shelf, and still works. It used to be called "fucking little bastard" but now it is Humpty Dumpty.

You know Web templates like this online store one are a dime a dozen, right?

Websites are the same type like jeans are the same size.

32x34? Fits Crompsins. Fits other guys my size.

The template makes sense for both companies.

...

Now if I could just find them and steal their clothes.

I thought CompUSA went under in December... I guess it was just my local store, then.

Dude, I just bought two pairs of 32X34s on the weekend.... :D

Fits Baraka_Gurus too.

More than just web template, it is all the same products too. Two different companies selling the exact same merchandise for the exact same price.

It's not two different companies but two subsidiaries of the same company (Shauk said so in his OP):

The Gordon Brothers Group was also successful in their attempt to sell the company's online and technical service, CompUSA.com and CompUSA TechPro respectively. These divisions, as well as certain stores in the Florida, Texas and Puerto Rico markets were sold to Systemax in January of 2008.
