Think Geek

ThinkGeek started as a way to serve a market that was passionate about technology. Three out of the four founding members started an ISP in the Northern Virginia area way way back in 1995. We couldn't afford Solaris, learned about a free UNIX-like OS, and spent almost an entire day downloading it onto over 50 floppies for installation on an old 486 laptop with no cd-rom (thanks Slackware!). After a few years with the ISP gig, the ThinkGeek idea popped into our heads, and, operating out of a spare room at the ISP office we setup shop and launched the site on Friday the 13th, 1999...

Since 1999, ThinkGeek has grown from a fun side project started by a few computer geeks to a multi-million dollar e-commerce business catering to the geek in all of us. From apparel to gadgets and computer accessories to caffeine, ThinkGeek is a one-stop shop for everything geeky. ThinkGeek.com is unique and memorable; not only because of our laid back and fun style, but also because of the popularity our custom made products like Shower Shock Caffeinated Soap and our Caffeinated Hot Sauce!At ThinkGeek you will find a great selection of Geek Toys, Gadgets, Comuting and PCMods, Electronics, Books and much much more.
