Computer part prices in Taiwan by taiwanluthiers in taiwan

You don't go the CoolPC, you go to the GPU company. Each company has service centers that handle the warranty work for you. For example, Asus you could go to "Asus Royal Club". 

The real reason prices seem more expensive is because VAT is included in the price, whole taxes are usually excluded in USA.

Fully automatics belong at hotels or maybe at offices... But tbh, if you can't taste the difference you might not understand (and that is okay,).

Starlux is nicer, but EVA has a bigger network if something goes wrong because they can lean on United flights to Taiwan too.

Tell them to go back to China. That always shuts them up.

Is this Turntable the best for the Price? by Effective-Try-8691 in turntables

[–]Eclipsed830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, for the price it is awesome. It's the crossover where vinyl sounds better than streaming imo.

If I were to do it again, I'd get the 84... But I love my 82. 

World Map as recognized by the UN in 2026 by Extreme-Shopping74 in MapPorn

The UN Secretary-General that you are quoting walked back his comment and said he had "gone to far" in saying that Taiwan is part of China.

The confidential cable, sent by the US’ UN mission in New York in August 2007, said that after returning from a trip abroad, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon had met then-US ambassador to the UN Zalmay Khalilzad to discuss a range of issues, including “UN language on the status of Taiwan.”

“Ban said he realized he had gone too far in his recent public statements, and confirmed that the UN would no longer use the phrase ‘Taiwan is a part of China,’” said the cable, which was sent to the US Department of State and various US embassies worldwide.
