Shipping costs?

[Romulus2]

You'll have to ask the firm:
a) do they ship abroad?
b) how much for shipping, insurance AND their handling?

For a rough idea of USPS shipping see this site: http://ircalc.usps.gov/

Thanks! I'd say it might be a good bit, given it's size and the distance to cover - the shipping might be more expensive than the case http://www.sysopt.com/forum/redface.gif!

apart from shipping cost, make sure the P.S. is switchable from 110 to 220/240 if its not that being removed would lower the weight a few pounds.

As WW, said the voltage may be an issue. However some or perhaps all of Europe uses 50hz current whereas the US uses 60hz only. As you know adaptors are available but spotty in reliability.. Is the savings on electronics so much that s&h from the USA will make the deal desirable ?? From where I live people like to shop in Germany for deals, at least they used to do this.. later DrVette

Before you order - please please tell me you are planning on replacing the power supply once you get the case.... 230W - you want at least a 300W for any system using "current" components, at the very minimum, 250W.....

Also - I'd say you probably haven't looked in your local area enough if you are going over-seas for a case....

Lastly - check your local junk shops for an old server case - then see about getting a new power supply after checking to see if you can make the form factor of your motherboard fit the old case. Most ATX motherboards come with a component cover plate for the connector area - the thing I'd be most picky about are the expansion slots and whether they fit your form factor.

This case (http://www.tcwo.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=27&sid=1wHCjE00UJs@22p)

How much do you think it would cost to ship it from America to Ireland with it being wrecked or used as a boat? http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif

Thanks!
