Title: Made in Germany
Post by: est1895 on August 11, 2013, 03:50:37 pm

I'm looking for German made computer parts.  I have heard of Noiseblocker and I think Gelid Solutions.  What are the others?

Define computer parts.

Also, is Alibaba not working for you or something?

Honestly though, you won't find one that actually makes stuff themselves. The biggest "german" manufacturer is Medion, and they're a Huawei reseller, more or less.

What computer parts are you looking for? Also, what does "German" mean? German made, German designed, sold in Germany or supporting German economy?

My father bought me a sennheiser. I thought it was a regular headphone and treated it like crap for two years. Ten my friend came over, saw the headphone, awed at the thing, and googled the price.

I never want a gift from my father again.

Made in Germany ? Most of the consumer electronic is form Mainland China, some ICs are from Taiwan...

Aqua Computer is the only Company I know that produces in Germany. The manufacture items for water cooling.
Eheim is a famous producer of pumps for fishtanks, some of those pumps are used for water cooling, often heavily modified (like USB rpm control ).
Papst Lüfter is located in Germany, they make fans that have been well known during the 90s for cooling cases (but the fans from China were crap at this time ).
Artic cooling is from Swizerland, AFIAK from the German speaking part (no, thats not Germany )

The gift to replace all gifts?

I've got a set of HD 280 Pro.  I can never use cheap headphones again.

Heck, I got myself the PC310 (which is their budget model and cost me 40 euros), and it's the best headphone I ever had. Can't even start to imgagine what the more expensive ones sound like.
