I tried contacting Dell with no success. Their Korean website lacks a phone number, and I don't feel like calling international. Ideally I'd like to order through Dell because I've had good luck with them in the past, but I decided I'm going to settle for purchasing a computer up front in Korea.

That being said, does anyone know a good place to buy a desktop in Anyang?

I'm looking to go cheap... like $600k WON cheap. Just something basic with an LCD monitor and standard accessories.

Any ideas?

I don't have a direct answer for your question but you can buy computers online and have them shipped to your address (with a little help from a Korean co-worker). Check out this website: http://www.omi.co.kr/ and other websites mentioned in this forums sticky:

I don't know what you plan to use it for, but you can get a Dell model upgraded to a dual-core TurionX2 chip at 1.6 ghz for 700,000. That's not as cheap as in the USA (and you really need 2 gig of Ram with Vista to run OK -- that is only one, but you should upgrade Ram elsewhere NOT FROM DELL), but overall a good deal for Korea.

Yeah, I know Turion isn't the best, but if you want to go cheap, and have dual-core, it is.

You can strike a good deal with mix and matching at www.compara.co.kr or www.assacom.com
