This might just be rumor because, Best Buy's usually are twice the size of a CompUSA. So unless they have a new business strategy, there is no way they can fit a Best Buy in an existing CompUSA store.
That's not necessarily true. There is a Best Buy in Signal Hill, CA that was built in what was once a Toys R Us store, and that location is much, much smaller than your average CompUSA. You walk in it and you can pretty much see every department without even turning your head.
As far as the acquisition goes, the only former CompUSA stores in my area are located a few doors down from a Circuit City and down the freeway from an existing Best Buy. I'd wager those locations would remain closed or become some Halloween Costume Outlet or something.
