Hmm looking at the trend of $=£, I think it`ll further the fuel for US importing of sorts.
$300 for a high-quality gfxcard - to me - is an excellent price.
~£280 for the same deal is enough to make u spit.
U do have to consider postage on these, but with an ever increasing wave of hands across the pond shaking hands, this is getting even less of an issue than ever. Either that, or u can get the companies to ship to u direct, which is maybe that much more.
I`ve got 2 parcels on the way to me, packed with lianli goodness and bountifuls of cpu/gpu coolers and other junk. They weigh in @ about 14lb and 18lb. Postage for each is around $30+. To me, again, that`s crazy cheap. I send 1 parcel back the same way and it costs me £60... bizarre.
Think in a while I`m gonna order cpu + mobo + gfx from the US and give and itemized costing for what I paid and the UK equiv. Just to see.
