Computer hardware is really cheap in Nepal. I went to the computer bazaar in Putalisadak, the whole building has lots of computer hardware stores. Optical mouse is Rs 250 which was cool looking here in US probably cost around 29 atleast. I was looking for PC2100 DDR RAM for my home desktop but it was very hard to find (found it finally though). The quality of hardware is not as good as you can find here, most item has like 3 months store warranty. They have CPUs that comes in plastic sleeves, most certainly not the first grade quality. Some unknown brand P4 laptops were selling for Rs 46 thousand. I know Dell laptops are cheap here in US but you better have a buyer who is willing to buy in Nepal if you intend to sell it. The Centrino laptop I was carrying would cost around Rs 1.5 lakhs in Nepal which costs like thousand bucks in US.
