Can I build a PC from parts not made in China?

[gsaman]

Thank you for all the details. I'll definitely check into the manufacturers you mentioned.

I think he'd be satisfied knowing that the majority of the parts aren't directly supporting China (if I need to get a couple that do I don't think he'll have major objections). I'm not exactly sure what his specific objection is to China, aside from the fact that some recalls of goods made in China have hit the news lately. I know he'd prefer Taiwan over China, if I do need to get parts from that area.

I'll see what I can throw together...

Gigabyte also has some motherboards marked as coming from places other than China.

By a strange quirk of fate China has almost all of the worlds supply of the rare earth elements used to make semiconductors

Some where in the heart of every cpu are minerals mined in China

Not exactly true. They are just the only country willing to put up with the environmental damage involved in the mining.

What's going on with you bumping threads from 07?

Theoritically possible. Major companies hardware companies (e.g., Intel, NVidia) usually have their engineering samples (product prototypes in various stages, including pre-release evaluation samples) produced in the U.S, even the PCB can be US made! But those things are not available for commercial sale and are very rare in absolute numbers. I have tried for years, and managed to collect only several of those samples.
