If there is one place in the world you'd expect to find an NOS stash then it probably be Hong Kong 😆
Right? I must be looking in the wrong places. Doing another trip tomorrow to Golden and New Capitol Computer Plaza (this one a tip from a friend for vintage stuff) so am hoping to find something good there.
Toured through the whole of New Capitol Computer Plaza today just behind Golden Shopping Arcade. Let me tell you, this is THE PLACE to buy older computer hardware in Hong Kong - anything from 2008 onwards I would say. I came across one display model G4 Cube (not for sale) and a couple of Macintosh Color Classics (may go back for one of them). I also found a couple of HD 5870 GPUs, a bunch of 285, R9 270 and a whole corridor of what seemed to be only second hand PSUs. Saw plenty of HX, TX and CX units.
But vintage-vintage? Hardly anything.
Certainly nothing older than a Pentium III and a 6600GT, I was quite disappointed I have to say. And not a single CRT monitor in sight...
