    European/other sources for PC components?

    Are there any equivalents to newegg.com for personal computer components in Europe and other countries (like Australia, etc.). I'm interested in comparing prices between American and foreign discounters to determine the effects of the falling dollar.

    I've been woodworking for too long....

    When I read PC I thought it meant Porter Cable!

    Can't help you with the other kind of PC...

      Never seen any - the Europeans I know all complain that PC parts cost at least twice as much in Europe as they do in the states.

      If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

        Neither have I. I wasn't sure if it was because I've never really looked or because there aren't any.

        With the fall of the dollar I've been surprised that we haven't seen component prices in U.S. escalating. I was kinda wondering what was happening to Euro prices.

          Well, the dollar has not been falling against the China Yuan. Maybe that has something to do with it.

            I haven't seen any either. Even with Canada the dollar values are darn near equal now but computer stuff is still more expensive there.

              Perhaps. But some other currencies (Taiwanese, Japanese, Korean) are involved.
