 BF> I don't know if you have been there before but the city is crammed 
 BF> full of computer stores selling high quality stuff. 
 BF> A huge amount of hardware is made in Singapore e.g. 
 BF> Soundblaster and many motherboards.

 BF> A couple of the better complexes to look for computers are :

When you are buying from overseas don't you have to watch for some things such as:
* That you don't have to send the computer back overseas to get repairs.
* That the computer power and sockets is okay for the Australian power points.
* That by the time you pay for the freight to ship the computer back to
Australia& the exchange rate that it could be cheaper to buy in
Australia.

Regards
Kenneth
