but then you have to deal with the Korean OS. total headache, trust me because im dealing with it now. I have to get an English one installed asap.
do what i did: go to a mom n pop second hand store that sells and fixes computers. Theres one in Bucheon i went to that my gf helped me buy. It almost new, runs great, and only 330k .

A lot of places will install an English OS for you, but personally I wouldn't let a Korean within 100 square miles of any software or operating system I'd like to use. They are almost pathologically incapable of not filling a computer with crap ware and badly pirated software (e.g. dodgy keys/cracks/viruses etc.)
