I guess viable alternative is a relative term...


Actually, my phone is made in Korea (Samsung Galaxy S II). My work laptop (Dell) appears to be made in China. However, my home rig is self-built with (to the extent possible) parts from Taiwan, Japan, other countries in Asia. I think I ultimately had to settle for a power supply that was assembled in China and I'm quite sure that lots of the smaller sub-components were sourced there. The highest value parts (cpu, gpu, memory, hard disk, SSD) were all from places other than China. I do what I can. Sometimes there really isn't an alternative. Personally, I prefer not to hand bricks to the guy who is trying to dam the river that waters my farmland, even when it would be more convenient (in the short run) to do so.

Best,
