Malaysia. 5 cents electricity, 1600sqft for $250usd monthly rent.

How do you handle physical security? Is this some sort of warehouse district?
Do you buy your parts locally? Can you share pics please?

It's just a shoplot unit, 3rd floor. Basically the building's staircase is locked with a gate, only tenants with key can enter. Outside my unit there's more grills and doors.

I feel safe because it's a shoplot with this many deterrence layers. Also have CCTV. If I rent a warehouse, it's pretty easy for people to climb over a fence. Definitely gotta think about that as I'm renting a larger place next month.

For parts, I buy on Amazon. 1080tis are $850USD in Malaysia. Many pc parts are 20-25% price premium. Back in June I paid $659 USD + $69 shipping/import fees to buy from Amazon per 1080ti. I also max out my 37kg luggage with GPUs/mobos and stuff whenever I fly there. Amazon increased their prices to $750 now (+$80 shipping), so I might consider buying in Malaysia, but crappy 1080ti models in my home country are still $680-$700.
