looking for US computer component online store

Mailman · 2004-06-15 13:44:28

Anyone know any cheap US computer component online store that ships to Ireland? Looking for cheap ram, cpu and hdd. Do these items have to be sent by regular post to avoid duties/customs.

Just out of curiosity, but why would you want to buy them from the US? Seems more hassle than it's worth really.

Cheaper, was on pricewatch.com and prices were much cheaper than from European suppliers but couldn't find any shipping to Ireland.

I think by the time you factor in shipping, customs and the hassle of returning faulty/damaged goods, you'll probably be better off sticking to somehwere in europe, like JES or Komplett.

Yeah, shipping from the US is very expensive, takes ages and you will regularly get stung for import duty.
