Computer hardware cheaper in Taiwan?

[EtherealConstruct]

In your experience has Taiwan had any significantly different prices on computer parts than in the united states?

Particularly name brands like Asus that are trusted.

Where else are computer parts significantly discounted at retail?

Thanks.

my cousins stationed in S. korea.. he tried to do the same thing ordering from stores out there.. the prices arent any better there or in china.. so i doubt they are cheaper in taiwan..

Oic, I just figured since Asus is based there and many other parts are manufactured there it would be cheaper b/c no import costs etc... perhaps there would be some good open box type deals there but upon my return to america I would be screwed if something went wrong with it.
