Anyone know of a store in Korea that sells Gaming Systems that use Western name brand components?
Most of the Korean systems seem to use brand names I've never heard of in my life, which I don't feel comfortable with. |

If you shop online (danawa.com) you can get alot of brand name components that you would be familiar with. Asus/ Gigabyte mobos, OCZ/ Corsair/ G.Skill ram, Enermax/ Fortron (FSP) / Zalman power supplies, Samsung/ WD/ Seagate hard drives. About the only thing you wont find that you recognize alot of are vid cards. Not that it matters, western companies like Asus/ EVGA/ XFX/ Saphire just flash thier own bios and slap some stickers on the reference cards that all come out of the same factory as the Korean branded ones.
Same can be said for shopping at Yongsan in Seoul or the computer plazas in Daegu or Busan. |

| Pick your parts online, print it up, take it to Yongsan/Technomart and ask them to build it there. |
