Not the Seasonic

And if you can wait with the Purchase of the GPU and CPU, you should wait 2 Weeks as there might be a big release on Computex.

India or Vietnam?  When they can get their quality up to even the shittiest China factories. 

 

In fact, right now, one supplier we all know is already making power supplies in Vietnam for a brand we all know and the failure rates are through the roof. 

 

$70000 USD for a Chroma 9000 and they don't even have a Chroma 9000.

 

You'd think you could put a whole factory on a boat and ship it to another country, but then you have to train the people and there's the language barrier.  Vietnamese ain't Mandarin. 

 

Taiwan is too expensive.  Cost and standard of living there is so much higher than China or Taiwan.  You'll pay 25% more just the same.

Yeah, that's something that ruined Nokia in the end, when they moved from Bochum/Germany to Romania.

The Romanian Factory was a money dump...

The Laborers were cheap but they had a high turnover rate, where the Workes just used stepping stone to get a better, higher paid Job.

While in Germany, you get one Worker and that one stays with you for years.

 

You can argue that the cost might be a bit higher but on the other hand you save on training people because they stay with you longer.

 

I don't want to know how many companys got ruined with a move towards east-europe or China. Probably a lot...

Yeah, that's always the issue, especiallly when nobody is able to speak english well in that region (or at least understand it well)
