Buying a Video Card Overseas

Who has ever bought a new video card overseas, especially in the Asian countries, where you can get heaps for your dollar?

thats too bad, I was planning to buy one in Hong Kong, however there must be some place that sells video cards honestly over there, probably just requires a bit of research.

Unhappy

I've been trying to locate a place where I can order a Dataland Radeon 9550.... Problem is they are based in China.... Not sure how to even order one. From what I have heard and read about them (if you can get your hands on one) they have extremely good overclocking capabilities... 400+ / 300+ out of a 9550 !!!!!!

Dataland 9550

thats a pretty insane oc, but what i'm talking about is buying a video card when you happen to be overseas in a place where you can get heaps for your dollar, American dollars would go so far in some places in Asia.

according to my friend from singapore, in a lot of overseas places you can get software and some hard ware for next to nothing (mostly knockoff brands or illegal stuff), but when it comes to video cards, he said the legit ones there were just as expensive if not more than the online prices here
