    Quoted from Wolfmarsh:

    So who will be the first manufacturer to bow to the pressure and start getting parts from China?
    Drop that BOM by 50%.....

    Just because they get the parts cheaper doesn't mean they will pass it on to the consumer. All it really means is a higher profit margin for the manufacturer. I'm sure a lot of the parts, especially the electronics, and more then likely the wire and plastic injection molded parts are already being made off shore. Remember just because the manufactures are building the machines here, doesn't mean the suppliers selling them the parts are doing the same.
