Which is cheaper to get hardware from US or UK??
« on: October 13, 2006, 10:34:54 PM »
Was just wondering?

Have dealt with both countries, i believe it depends on which country that brand originates from.

Whats your take?

USA, definetely.  The US Dollar isn't really worth the paper it's written on right now, so things should be cheaper than just about anywhere else.
