If you are a DIYer and like to purchase PC components, this is the best place to go. DIY has always been very popular in China. Most of the popular computer stores in Shanghai are to meet the DIY needs. Pacific I has survived the great competition in Xu Jia Hui(徐家汇) Area and has been the best one. For most PC components, the prices are somehow lower in Pacific I than in other markets. And a lot of high-end components that could not be got in other markets can be found here.

The market has a relatively longer history and has seen few renovations. So the shopping experience could be less pleasant compared with shopping in Pacific III.

Tips on shopping for computer/digital products.
1. Always get the quotations from at least 3 shops. Some shops might give a very high quotation seeing a foreigner. For most of the products, you can find them in more than one shops, so check the price as much as you can. Why do you have to pay more only because you are a foreigner?
2. Low end products, like flash cards, low end PC components, could be less expensive than in other countries. But high end stuffs like high end CPUs, display cards, monitors, are probably a lot more expensive than in US, Hong Kong, Japan. Remember to check the prices on websites like newegg before going!
