    Yodobashi Camera have been advertising in the Metropolis that they have English assistance. I don't know where in Japan you are so if you give them a call and the person doesn't speak E, I am sure someone who does will call you right back.

    On a side note, I assume you know that RAID 0 is very risky.

    Thanks.
    Where in Akihabara is User-side ? .. is it the shop's name ? have any phone number ?

    I live in Yokohama, tried to call yodobashi.. but they cannot help if they don't sell the parts I need.

    My requirements for this workstation is for editing High devinition video.
    so.. I need Quad core pentium, DDR3 ram, NVidia quadro graphic card, and Harddisk Western Digital with 10.000rpm
    installed in RAID 0 configuration (stripping)

    I understand.. the risk.. but this harddisk is for temporary workspace (scratch disk)... I need RAID 0 for speed performance.

    Every several hour.. the data will be automatically backuped to another external 4terra HDD.

    So... can anybody suggest.. where can I find a company who can help me built that machine and speak English ?

    Thanks.

    Do you need a quadro for video editing?

    I do 3D modelling and have a quadro for that, but for editing I thought you might get better value with something else?

    I ordered my quadro from America as I couldn't find a mid range one anywhere, they have some low end ones around Akihabara however. You might want to try Tsukumo, its a good shop, though doesnt have English support. Try their website and see what they have and then go there. Unlike a lot of places in Akihabara, they stock a lot of items so you can go and pick up without the process of ordering in Japnese which at my level is tricky.

    Yodobashi is what I would classify back home as a typical High street store. Prices aren't good and in depth knowledge is non existent.

    Actually I do exactly what you need, in English, of course. Possible to work out things in Japanese as well...

    I figure this thread is worth bumping, as many folks may need a quick guide to the wonders of Akihabara. Also it helps if you read the various websites in japanese.

    dos para used to have the primePC site with english support, however they recently quit the website.

    I could build the machines for you for a small fee. If you can be more specific I can give you some quotes.
