New PC Build - Importing
Hi all
I'm doing a new build and I'm after the Core 2 Duo E6300, Asus P5B-Deluxe with Wi-Fi along with Corsair Valueselect 2GB PC5300 CAS 5 Memory. The cheapest I've found in the UK with P&P is £370 but if I go stateside I can get it for £250 £350 with $100 P&P. Also if it can be done will I get clobbered through Customs and would there be any voltage issues?? Cheers in advance

Just curious as to which US on-line sites ship to the UK?
I believe your right about customs and maybe VAT will kill any savings. No voltages problems except for US PSUs.

Hi Flanzig
Not sure about which sites it was just out of curiousity really, I looked at NewEgg but it turns out they don't ship (the $100 shipping was just a guestimate) but the £250 was the correct figure on the actual items in question. Would you know of any sites that might be worth a look at at all?? Cheers |

For safety I would just go and order it from the UK. What site from the UK did you find had the cheapest prices?
