PC Component parts, are they dearer in Australia?
Hi,
My current PC that was a reasonable gaming spec is getting a bit elderly now (Phenom II, 4870HD). Added to that the case is in dire need of a replacement, it's held 2-3 complete builds is in it time. I'm about to order a case but it occured to me that as I'm coming to Australia in 4 months or so is really worth doing it now and shipping it over or would I be better off ditching the PC (taking the HDD's over in caddy's) and starting from scratch in Australia? If anybody can advise on PC component stores or websites that are popular down under that would be just great.
Thanks

Hi, the only other thing to think about is that if you buy stuff before coming to aus and it blows up or gets damp in shipping then you will have the hassele of getting it sent back before its replaced under warrenty, if you can do that.
Prices in aus arent to expensive, heres an example of a place in perth :

MSY is the perfect place for people who know what they're doing and know what they want. Walk in, grab what you need, walk out.
Prices are comparable to the USA.

MSY is ok if you know exactly what you want, and you know they have it - just don't expect any kind of customer service from them!!
Another place to look at is PC Case Gear.
