PIKOM PC Fair Miri
I just got back from the PIKOM PC Fair at Miri. Sorry, no pics taken. I don’t have a camera phone and I forgot to bring my camera. But, it was rather disappointing.
This year’s PC Fair is bigger than last year’s. That’s an improvement. But the things they sell never improve at all. Laptops, speakers and LCD’s is all you see. I hardly find any booth selling RAMs or hard disk. There’s not even one booth that sells motherboard or processors. And I can only find ONE booth that sells accessories for PC modders.
OUCH!!!
Though I do see quite cheap stuff there. DVD writer’s for RM178, 1GB Pen Drive for less than RM100. Well, at least it is cheap if I were to compare in within Miri. But I’m sure you can get off these kind of stuff cheaper than that in Lowyat.
I was looking for any booths that sells keyboard cheaper than RM50, and I find none. 
Maybe I was expecting something too cheap for a keyboard? I did find one for RM28, but it’s like China low quality made. The keys are not smooth. Maybe the springs on the keys sucks I guess.
However, I was having fun at a booth, listening to the Edifier‘s sound quality. The X600 really rocks. Too bad I don’t have a sound card. A good speaker with an onboard sound doesn’t make the sound nice. So, I guess I will just bare with my old SonicGear speakers. It’s so old that you cant find the models in their website anymore.
By the way, I am removing my shoutbox temporary. Fucking spams.

Don’t look for cheap stuff lar, cheap doesn’t come good
But the 1GB Pen Drive for less than RM100 is really tempting X/

Never been there before, I am not suppose to post in this entry. But anyway, I have already wrote something
. Everyone saying the fair sucks 
, why? Because Miri is just that small, we do not have good amount of computer shops in this town, never expect for anything good, whatsoever. Wish it will be better in the future, in term of size of course. 
PS: Low Yat Plaza FTW!

I just heard from some friend of mine claiming that this PIKOM fair is relatively the same throughout malaysia. Laptops is their MAIN focus, which for most of us, totally sucks. The reason behind this is because they’re earning a lot from selling laptops and notebooks, rather than selling all those other computer components.
I guess if I am planning to build a new rig, I suppose going to a pc fair is a bad idea. Might as well ask people buy from lowyat and poslaju to me
