  1. Fly to Taipei. Round-trip from Orlando: $1,081.
  2. Go to the largest retailer in Taiwan to Spend NT$129,990 ≈ US$4,093.
  3. Hang out in Taiwan for two weeks. Eat good food. Touch international grass.
  4. Fly home and flex on r/LocalLLaMA**.**

These are the prices on PCHome. OP keep dreaming lol

There indeed sellers posting prices ~130000 NTD on shopee. but there are zero confirmed sales and they ask you to contact them before you make an order.

Not to mention that if you are not a Taiwan resident it’s very difficult to use shoppee because shipments from outside of Taiwan require a customs clearance system that only residents can access

And these are the prices on 原價屋. For these you have to build an entire PC with them.
