It's horrible how much more I have to pay for stuff in Norway.
I would actually save 1000$ and that is even with a little better rig than the one I was planning to buy in Norway.

I have to check up on shipping costs. Hope it's not too bad!

Check Customs duty too. Often what happens:

Say a material worth 1000$ in US (sold as old stock or someway other with bill), that same thing worth nearly 1500$ in India. But, I experienced such situation, where the customs added some duty, making the total cost over 1500$.

Yeah, just found out it will be hell to pay in customs and other shit, so I will stick to the norwegian build, as the shipping costs are only 40$ :)

BFD, have you any guide for Lappy building? I am planning for Win 8 :geek:

Yeah dear! I have very bad experience regarding a Lens. The total cost exceeded the price tag of from the shop right opposite to my apartment, I paid 100$ more :sarc:

You posted about that system that you added up to $4000 earlier in the week right?

I was actually going to post that that system should run about 3000 in the US but decided not to be an *** and point it out for no reason :) (At least this one time anyway)

Hawkin,
What's the chance of buying in Deutschland and bringing it back in?

Hope to make, once again, holidays in your country within the next year.

I've walked, many times, the Sandefjord Tier'n. Can't do it anymore as knee got busted up in an auto accident. One mile (Norwegian that is) is about my limit now
