    It was a blast showing you around Huaqiangbei, Linus! Thanks for taking time out of your insanely busy schedule. Turns out my editor already has a decent editing rig, so I'll be giving this PC away to a lucky fan in an upcoming video. If you're interested in winning this PC (and some cool and rare Strange Parts swag) definitely keep an eye out for that video.

    As a Chinese, I can tell you that all the products in these stores are all dynamically priced, meaning that the shop owner usually make up the price on the spot based on the perceived buying power of different customers. Simple put, they're overcharging you guys.

  • @chengchengding4542
    @chengchengding4542 Před 6 lety +2102

    Chinese fan here! So I'm gonna try and explain things a little bit here.
    First about component price, Comparing China and the US, the things u can get cheaper in China are:
    CPUs: In this video Linus bought a OFFICIAL CPU with stock cooler, however, a local Chinese who know his ways would be choosing something different for CPU. Shop in China actually sell CPUs that we call“散片”, which are CPUs that got produced in China but DIDN'T pass the quality test and therefore should have been thrown away, but we the "tricky" Chinese would pick from those imperfections and sell those still in fine but not great shape. Those "散片" CPU would end up 0.1 or 0.2 GHz lower in performance and have less stable overclocking abilities, but still it would fit for daily use. Typical thing with these "散片" are that they don't come with a box and stock cooler, but they are usually 100 Yuan(20 USD) cheaper.
    Also it is also a performance-per-dollar choice to purchase SERVER CPU and motherboard combo like intel xeon E3 or G4560(of course it is not entirely legal for individuals to purchase these, so isn't "散片" deals, but that is the "grey" area for the current law.)
    Cases: Unlike other components, computer cases do not require any high-tech to build, so here you can see many small brands selling all kind of bizarre cases, that are cheaper and, probably, use cheaper and lower-quality materials.
    About the mall, 华强北 in Shenzhen:
    Even though I live in Beijing, the great name of 华强北 is still famous to anyone interested in computer DIY. I think it's fair to say that it is the largest of its kind in all of China. And as you can see in the video, people there have things beyond imaginations in stock, and I'm pretty sure there are even more wired and less or more illegal products hidden in the back of their store. You can dig up pretty much anything in your wildest dreams, literally.
    As one last reminder, I suggest STRONGLY that Strange Parts find a more stable power supply by a bigger brand. Because the best expert on computer DIY in China can save money in every way for better preformance, but NONE of us ever dare to save money on power supply. Because those cheap products from tiny brands don't have very strict quality test and you don't know what key components they've replaced. In short the cheap power supply is VERY LIKELY to go KABOOM(I mean it) in the future. Let's try not to risk that, like seriously.

    Lived in Guangzhou for 10 years and that looks like the IT district in Gangding MRT station. An aerial view is needed to give you the scale of the IT district. Fantastic place to shop for IT gear and unbelievable repair resources. From data recovery to finding a faulty chip in my Dell laptop and replacing it on the spot for RMB50 (AUD10). There is another 7 storey building where they do the repairs. Even if you cannot speak Chinese, they are perfect doctors! They find the problem and fix it. If you do not know your way around just go to a small PC centre and let them build it for you. The IT district is ok for pros and techno-savvy people who know what they want. The customer support is excellent.

      anti static bands are NOT electrocution prevention, theyre to prevent static building up on you and damaging a fragile component as you handle parts. (also why if you go to clean a computer youre supposed to let it sit for at least 15minutes, an hour to be safe after its been completely unplugged) because a 2$ bracelet is worth the hassle of not potentially damaging a $400 component for a normal user.

      Most people probably wouldn't act that much different in the stores - the time is quickly running out, nobody understands what you're saying, merchandise is mostly unknown, prices are fluid and you have to know how much it's worth so you can haggle, in foreign currency no less and with no words to express yourself.

      In China if you don't haggle, then they won't show respect for you, it's just the way it is in China, also its not just the foreigners in China who get either scammed or taken for a ride it's everyone lol. It's like they have a very short span if money making can be done today then they'll do so, they work on very short term basis, have heard of stories of when someone was being taken to this sleazy bar or place where they went to get tea, they got charged huge rates, told the police they looked as though they'd closed down the place, but then weeks later was up back up again and running, they'll always side with the locals when it comes to that, it's just the way it is in China lol.
      Heard of some getting insane low prices for something that should have costed a lot more, firstly by being their first customer of a particular day and then because they haggled it down to an insane amount pmsl, they never really say no to their first customer it's again just the way it is there from what I have heard lol.
