    One thing that pisses me off

    Is that Germany has dirt cheap Computer Hardware.

    Like come on, a 70$ case, for only 11 Euros?

    I put together a list that only cost 1,100 Euros, and ended up costing nearly $1,700 USD.

    When I go to Germany in October, I'm buying a computer out there.

    Well it is to do with the exchange rate. 1USD is 70cents in euro dollars.

    Was originally theorizing that, but 1,100 Euro equates to only about $1,500 USD.
    Still about 12% cheaper.

    It's just regional pricing at work. They wouldn't be able to sell anything without lowering cost.

    Well, I've yet to see such betrayal here in the Netherlands. Most likely cuz of the exchange from USD To EUR. Look for dat in the Netherlands , I could use some good deals.

    Why not? Regular prices are far from 12% lower than the US if you look at the usual pricing which is 1$=1Eur.
