Where to buy computer hardware in Hong Kong?

[Biggs]

Very detailed directions please. Much appreciated.

Wanchai 298, Wanchai 130, MongKok, ShumShuiPo.

When will you be in Hong Kong? I'm taking around milagro this week.

 

[Biggs]

Andy, I have a friend who frequents there. I was just wondering if any of the shops there sells the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz. Also, d'you know any more on-line vendors(aside from videocom.com.hk) that advertises their products in English. Thanks.

 

[AndyHui]

Nope.

TBSC is not available here in HK. The VideoLogic Sonic Fury is the same thing, right? That's available, but VERY limited.

Videocom is not really an on-line vendor...you are expected to pay online and then turn up in person to collect the parts. HKGolden.com also runs something similar.

If you are looking for a lot of cheap choices, Golden Computer Center is the must go.

Very few shops in HK selling Sonic Fury, even though I've managed to buy one for myself

You can buy it from Ego-ware in Mongkok Computer Center, or Freetron in Golden Computer Center in Sham Shui Po. Both prices at HK$550

Thanks for the replies, guys.

After doing my homework, the Voyetra Turtle Beach Santa Cruz and VideoLogic SonyFury are indeed the same banana.

Follow-up, what about speaker systems, are the VideoLogic Sirocco Crossfires, Monsoon MM2000, and Polk Audio AMR-150 also available here?

 

[AndyHui]

Polk no. Monsoon no.

Sirrocco Crossfires.....the HK distro no longer carries them. You might be able to find old stock if you are lucky.

The market for those types of speakers is very small here in Hong Kong. Most people have no room for such systems; their rooms are too small for that sort of thing, not to mention the disturbance to neighbours that are in VERY close proximity.
