Just wondering if i bought a motherboard from america, do you think

a) they'd actually ship it to me
b) it'd still work right etc?

Just waiting till the 27th is frustrating!!

power is 110v in america so you would have to get all parts to match and then a step down transformer. is it really worth it

IanW

I dont know any mother board that runs on 110v

snowcrash

eh?? am i missing something..? if it's just an MB surely you can just put them in..? as your PSU does all the transforming malarky..

No im off Asus nick you off the other .

its pissing me off. 1st it was early Jan then Jan 17th now its the 27th. Dealer blokes getting back to me tomorrow.

Then the ****ing prometeias are sold out aswell. Might just buy it all from states and be done with it!

if everything was set for 110 surely it would blew things when you shoved 240 into it

super_si

It'll work im 99% sure that, its just the shipping and handling and paying $$ on the card im a little wary. Might end up being £500 or something

dont forget that little duty thing if you get stitched for that it will bump price up

super_si

Si, you always run the risk of Customs doing a check on something coming in from abroad to determine if it is of any real value and then sticking an import duty tax fee onto it

Steve, don't forget that 12V is what a Motherboard actually runs on, so it is the PSU that needs to be 240V, which Si, like the rest of us UK users, have.

Oh god............

We have had this discussion before. I am not going for all out brute force. I am going for max speed with 1000000% stability and will achieve just that, so that is where we are going to differ, as you still have much to learn, young Padawan

Anyway, nuff said, you are going to have one hell of a job beating me, so

Enough of the sounding like children egging each other on anyway....

Your credit card company will convert the amount in dollars to sterling and it will appear in sterling on your bill. They will use the prevailing currency transfer rate at the time, plus add a teensy weensy bit on for handling the transfer.

Check you CC bill when you get it, you'll more than likely see the amount in dollars, the transfer rate and certainly the amount in sterling.

Things that I don't know. Yes, that will be likely, not.

I am staying out of this now, as you obviously have way exceeded my knowledge, which you prove on a daily basis on here, errrr, not.

Your problem will be getting someone to supply you as most retailers there will not send stuff here. I did buy a MSi M/B from USA (when I was on holiday). When it died I had to return it to the USA for RMA. UPS tried to levy customs duty and a brokers fee on the replacement.

super_si

Thanks mate. Im seeing if my supplier can get hold before the 27th for me.
