FYI.
In China, most people buy computers by parts and put them together themselves to save some money. You can find really cheap stuff and still bargain to cut the price into half..
Here are some pictures of the warehouses you can buy the parts. It's almost everywhere in China. In the first one, you can even see the word "CPU" there.

I believe it is because the parts are manufactured over there just like almost anything else these days. Alot of computer parts are also coming from neighboring Singapore. If you have a Dell, look in the back or side and you'll see that the parts were made in Asia but were assembled in the U.S. plants.
This is really cool. Thanks for posting this.
I'm always buying computer parts (when I have the money). My computers tend to evolve a piece or two at a time as I update the oldest/slowest parts. Then I pass the replaced parts down down to friends & family, who are happy to get free computers, and don't need the fastest, state-of-the-art gaming rigs.
The Internet has made it so easy to find a wide variety of hardware at reasonable prices. I just log onto:
www.newegg.com
and I usually have the computer parts at my door the next day.
That is really interesting. I have no idea how to put the parts together...but yeah, that is a good idea to sell by parts. I have never seen these stores back in either U.S. or Japan, but if there is, that would be interesting to go see. thank you for posting!
It is the same in Vietnam. However, there is a little bit different. There are 2 reasons that people in vietnam buy computer parts and put them together. the first one is the better quality, and the second one is cheaper price. the quality is the main reason. most of the time people buy the computer parts and ask the technician guys to build it in front of them. Maybe, you guys feel a little confuse why they need to do that. the reason is if you buy a computer in store, most of the time they use the old parts to build your computer such as old video card, slower memory card, old hard drive which you can't see or don't know. the price is about $200 or $300 U.S. dollar different with the same specification depends on the store. the first computer i bought long time ago, after the warranty expired, the computer started having problems such as the hard drives died. normally, the warranty is from 3 - 6 months depend on the computer store.
