just seen it on silicon republic. Anyone know where the store is to be on the street?

There's plenty of empty spaces there to choose from...

This has been rumoured for months... nice to see it's actually happening.

any links to proof it will open?

Here's a link to a pic taken from a bus by a boards.ie user Pic

It's at the bottom of Grafton Street, near the Molly Malone statue

Also Compub had been advertising positions for their new Dublin store on their web site.
