HP lol. They have cool designs too.
If you live in countries like mine (Australia) there may be a lot of products available, but the manufacturer doesn't actually have any of their company in the country, just resellers who have imported the product.
EVGA is an example, my motherboard's CMOS threw itself completely out a window once, the support was awesome (really nice bloke) but he was in america and it cost me a bomb to call him. Cost me even more to send the board to america and get it repaired.
You can usually tell if a company is in your country because, for starters, they advertise on TV. They might also sponsor certain sport teams or events. HP can be seen all over the place. Although its not a foolproof way of knowing they're in your country, it is a good indicator.
