My folks are off to Florida for 4 weeks. With the strong rate against the dollar and cheaper US prices anyway Im tempted to get them to order a 8800GT from an online retailer and bring it back with them.

Is there anything else I need to think about such as differences in power supply etc? Im guessing my warranty wouldnt be worth a sausage so unless the saving is reasonable then there is not enough benefit to warrant the risk.

Cheers,
Simon

Just make sure you buy one with an office in the UK should you have any problems.

Hello

I have done that in the past. The only problem that I had is that most online retailers would not take my UK credit card and ship to a US address (especially a non-residential place like my office/hotel).

In the end I had to physically go to a shop (Frys) and get a card that was on offer that week: Frys have amazing offers, where they will reduce the price of something by 50-80% for one week only.
