> Is this sort of a "if you don't make us pay tarrifs on component X, we'll build component Y in the USA?"

According to GamersNexus on Youtube; power supplies and cases (imported steel) were hit very hard by tariffs.

Caselabs, a maker of cases in the US, went out of business partially due to tariffs on imported steel driving up prices.

PCBs such as motherboards and graphics cards just moved to Taiwan.

Even cheap power supplies went up by $20 at least on average based on my anecdotal price browsing on PCPartPicker.

Sort of tangentially related, Gamers Nexus is one of my favourite PC hardware news outlets, they usually publish articles on their own website [1] with sources backing up what they say in their videos or just expanding with more info[2] (on their Youtube channel, you can often find links to related articles in the video descriptions).
