  Read in Weekends Today that due to the microchips heist in Penang, Malaysia. There might be a shortage of microchips (cpu, Ram .....etc) around the world.........
  
  As some of you already knows, I'm planning for a new DIY PC next mth.... after the PC show.
  
  Now really scare that price of PC parts will increase due to shortage. Do anyone thinks the same...... Will you buy the stuff you want now incase of any increase
  
  I need 5 more parts for my new PC..... each part rise $10, and the total will be $50.....

  There's no telling, the PC industry is like taking a roller coaster. A wait-and-see approach would be best. Best, wait until Vista SP1 is out then you upgrade. I'm thinking of doing that, cheaper.
