Are you kidding me ? Man I do not want to get into this all but I will point out the fact that America is some how losing the tech industry for child labor and creep crap ! Made in china does NOT stand for quality ! And it pains me to see every thing made in other countries just because you can make it cheaper it just doesn't make any sense at all ! There are tons more reasons and we can go on and on and on about it . But I can tell you this I am sick of the fact that every thing in the tech industry must be made every place other than the USA !

Cancel some free trade agreements and reinstate some tariffs and you'll see some competition from within the US.

beside quality the other question is how to differentiate mobos/outsourced manufacturers/type;is printed something somewhere?

Lol, people somehow thinks that ASUS is an American company? why the F would it be manufactured in the USA? It's a Taiwanese company, get your geography correct, a small island just south of China populated by Chinese people back in the 50s obviously its going to have manufacturing in the Asian countries. Whats the big surprise here?

The US is actually still the largest country in terms of manufacturing, so I doubt it would be too much of a drawback. I think the major difference is we have Environmental Regulations that prevent them from dumping hazardous chemicals everywhere and such.

China is the largest country in terms of manufacturing, where did you get your unreliable sources from?

Well, Taiwan isn't exactly south of China so your geography isn't exactly right...
It is more to the east of southern China.

whats your point? you want latitude and longitude coordinates? what?

It was a general direction, for conversation's sake. if people want to know where it is exactly, they can read a map.

I'll watch your video when I'm not at work, but the USA is still the largest manufacturer in the world. Whether or not it's true of Electronics\Microelectronics is another story.

The UN actually, they tend to be pretty good about keeping these things documented. China is the fastest growing country, but the US still outpaces them, see above link.

*P.S. Most recent data I could find.

I doubt quality will fall. Cal-Comp produces quite a bit of products including some of your favorite HDD's PCB's.

You're in for a treat when you find out exactly how wrong you are

According to 2010-2011 data, China is actually 0.4% ahead of the United States (estimated), so you're technically right, but I wouldn't say I'm very wrong. I know China has been proping up factories left and right to try and displace the United States for the better part of the last 5 years.

I will say, this article doesn't cite any sources (through link) like the other one I posted, so it could be inaccurate information.

Don't argue with me. Tell me all about it after you've watched the video. Also, thanks for the enlightening links. I haven't looked at them yet, but I will.

I would never buy an Asus card simply because their design is not as effective as it could be and I find them to be rather ugly as well as being too large for my taste.

What? have you seen or used an Asus card with their Direct CUII cooling or the Matrix platinum cooling?

My Asus GTX580 does easily 1000mhz core without high temps, the best card / cooling solution ive ever had (and the schmexiest too!)
