    About to? Comparatively it’s been up for quite some time now and I expect it to get more expensive as we go. Used to be $1000 could build you a pretty decent PC for gaming. Now? $2000+. And the tariffs are just gonna exacerbate everything for Americans.

    Is the US really that central to PC component manufacturing, or is this (mostly) just a US thing? Like, don’t get me wrong, I know a lot of these companies are US-based, but isn’t basically all the manufacturing and most of the distribution handled elsewhere?
