An online shop that sells hardware and portable players ?

[Seimour]

I was planning to upgrade my computer. I know that I could buy the required hardware in my country, but the graphics card, cpu, memory.. are a little expensive, so I was thinking it would be cheaper if I bought them outside.

Does anybody know any online shop that can ship outside its own country? (to Spain for instance?), like Nierle (www.nierle.de) (the best shop for you to buy cd and dvd)

And maybe another shop where I can grab and iPod or any Rio Hard Drive portable player?

Thanx BTW ;)

I would reccommend
http://meritline.com/
I get all my DVD+R's there as well as cases and such. They have Graet prices and a huge selection of other hardware too...
I hope you find what you are looking for.

I would strongly advise against buying hardware from abroad ... in case of incompatibilities, defective hardware or returns you will be stuck with high international shipping fees.

In case of defective hardware it depends on the manufacturer ... bought a hyundai monitor a while back in Germany which didnt work out of the box, hyundai's dutch service branch came and replaced it for me.

Shouldn't be too much of a problem comptability-wise buying from anywhere in Europe, unless you're buying a TV set or VCR (you'll have to check it supports the TV system in your country (e.g. Spain uses PAL B/G but the UK and Ireland use PAL I). Also if you buy something that needs a mains power source from the UK, Ireland or Austraila you'll need to change the plug or buy an adaptor.

However, buying from North America will lead to more problems - different mains voltages, a totally different (and worse :D) TV system, different DVD regions, and not forgetting how expensive delivery and possible import duties can be.

Though saying all this, PC hardware is the same everywhere in the world. The only trouble you might have is if you buy some peripheral (printer, scanner, etc.) that doesn't have a multi-voltage power supply, though they *usually* are these days.

Most UK shops charge hideously high delivery rates for anywhere outside the UK, and there's that whole exchange rate thingy.

I'd recommend Komplett.com, but I'm not sure if they'll deliver to Spain.
