Damn! PC Prices are Hiking!

Buying a new PC? Get ready, your next PC will cost you a BOMB!

2010 is dreadful year for PCs consumers. Last year recession resulted in shortage of computer components in term of production. And if you’re planning to buy and assemble a new PC this year, it is much likely to cost you more than expected if you buy later this year.

Thanks to the progression of DRAM memory chips from DDR2 to DDR3. According to Eric Bangeman of arstechnica, DDR3 spot prices are up 23 percent more expensive than the previous month. Prices of LCD panels and Hard-drives also expected to cost 20 percent more. So, if you plan to upgrade to SSD (Solid State Drive), this year may not be the time to power-up you Netbook as SSD build entirely on electronics and chips.

The manufacturers are recovering from their downfall and it’s our turn to consume the echo. I’ll keep an eye on the progress of this report because I’m sighting a new GPU this year, plus a hands-on experience on SSD. Hope i can get it before it ever happened.
So how about you, will you go for PC shopping now, or just wait?
I badly need a new GPU…
