T-Zone still has their "T-ZONE. PC DIY SHOP":

- and an on-line shopping deal:

Also, while I haven't had a chance to check it out yet, Yodobashi Camera
just opened a huge new store in a squeaky new building on the other side
of Akihabara Station from the main electronics area, but right next to
the station nevertheless. Has anyone checked that out yet? Do they have
a book section? (JICYDK, Yodobashi Camera was true to its name way back
when, but has shifted more and more towards electronics, and with
digital cameras, the shift is nearly complete! In fact... I think the
new shop is called "Yodobashi Akiba"?)

I just checked - here is a link:
