PC DIY: Taiwan style

May 15, 2009 01:32

Taiwan has a huge PC DIY population. This is a due to a combination of three things: A healthy PC components industry, a large pool of engineers and tech fans, and of course, the weather. 

It rains more often in Taipei--where most of the gear is consumed--than in other parts of Taiwan. A taxi driver in Taichung proudly once told me that his town has 75 days more sun than in Taipei. So let's take a look at the latest things running through the headlines. Today, we're looking at a local tech magazine called PC DIY! 


Cover


SSD hard drives


Blu-ray DVD burners


Power supplies and showgirl


Seagate storage


Article about the perfect combo (cases, power supplies, cooling)


Nvidia Quadro, supports Windows 7


Interesting box design


Netbooks

Asus Eee PC S101 (right) 19988NT


Asus Eee PC S121 17499NT and BenQ Joybook Lite U101 16666NT


Dell Inspiron Mini 12 229000NT and Gigabyte Booktop M1022 19900NT


Out of all the pages dedicated to PC gear and goodies, strange to see nothing about monitors.
