Complacency has caused this problem to spiral out of control and it's time that I make a hard stance. I've decided that, no matter the difficulty, I won't be buying anything unless it's made in America. ANYTHING. No more "Made in China", no more "Made in Vietnam"... I'm not going to put my money into the pockets of our enemies. It's insane that I ever thought this was okay.

You're going to be running into that. A LOT in the computer industry. Very little is actually fabricated here.

You'll see a lot of things ENGINEERED here, but not manufactured here. I wouldn't be against purchasing electronics and components made in Taiwan or Japan though. But those are also kind of hard to come by.

Dude, Micron/Crucial RAM/HDD's aren't even made in the US anymore. It's made in India and Singapore. You're going to have a hell of a time finding new current gen equipment if you're looking to buy stuff made in the US on top of Intel/AMD don't even make processors here and NVIDIA/AMD don't make their GPU's here. And you NEED those for a PC to function.

Intel's biggest chip plant is in Arizona.
