I'm moving to Taipei in August + will need to find a decent supplier of hardware.

Not being able to read Chinese I'm finding it pretty hard to find much information about where to get the various components at a reasonable price.

In the US there are places like Newegg, the UK has aria + ebuyer. Could someone here help point me at some decent equivalents in Taiwan. Or is it cheaper to go to some sort of market over there?

Any help at all would be much appreciated.

EDIT --

Anyone visiting Taiwan regularly or living there giving some anecdotal survival tips, likes + dislikes for being out there just to get the thread rolling a little wouldn't hurt too if it's allowed :).
