Just wondering... It seems like most motherboards are Chinese.

A curiousity question, nothing more.

    No. To my knowledge, all motherboards are now made in Taiwan or China. Really, is there any mass production component that's made in North America or Europe? I can't think of any.

    I guess I'd need your definition of "mass production component" to even think about answering that.
    I live in a town where thousands of big electrical motors are produced every year also Brodix cylinder heads and intake manifolds are made here by the thousands per year, I worked in a lumber mill that made enough lumber per hour to build two complete 3000 square ft homes (conversly they use a hundred loads of logs per day) and I can name several detroit auto makers that actually cast engines and produce them in the states as well...

    Madmat, my bad; I was referring to mass produced computer components. Sorry, should have been more specific.

    Ah, I kinda was wondering if that was the case, Klipsh Audio speakers might be made in the U.S.A. (the computer type) because I know for a fact that they make their home audio speakers here in AR somewhere...aside from them I'd be hard pressed to name anything else.

    I'll pose the question to a friend of mine, since he works for a contract manufacturing company.
