A tour of Zotac's Dongguan factory @ TechReport

Truth be told once you have seen a SMT factory you have seen them all.  Despite this, I do love factory tours.

Our tour was cut short before we had a chance to tour the motherboard wing, but at that point we were all high on solder fumes and dripping with sweat thanks to layers of anti-static gear. Besides, the workers had already been kept on shift past their usual lunch break to serve as subjects for the staccato of DSLR snapshots that ensue when you let journalists loose in a factory filled with fancy machinery and half-built PC components. You can find more than 40 shots of the factory in the associated image gallery below.

Maybe next time we'll be able to see this in person.
