I currently live in the US, but my dad has gotten orders (Air force) to goto Germany (Mannheim, more specifically). Now I have a question, are hardware prices cheaper over in Europe? I’m planning on building a new system for myself, but I am a little short on cash… Any help is appreciated ;)

PS. What kind of ping would I be getting from Mannheim to most servers out in Europe?

Most PSU’s can have both 110 and 220-240 iirc? As for the hardware in the PC itself: all works ;).

But the states are cheaper I’d reckon, esp with the high euro (compared to the dollar)

I had heard of something that you can plug into the wall, then plug your american made devices into that. Happen to know what that is? Or maybe a link to one?

germany’s pretty much in the centre of all the action, your ping will be fine

When built my latest pc about 8 months ago it would of literally been 50% cheaper to do it in usa :(. Could of got some friends over there to buy parts and send em over but with shipping and hastle wasnt rearly worth it from my pov.

How’s the internet down near Mannheim?

dw mate get yr rig sorted in the us and get an adapter (or if yr saying long get an eu power supply).

Pings to servers that matter will be good. Your only worry should be that the eu tf2 community are all immature kiddies who dont like turtles but you’ll get used to that :D

Invest in learning to play heavy as its all us euros do.
