    	    <description><![CDATA[Haha, thanks for the tips! We only plan on being there for 3 years, after those 3 years we're going to get a 1 year extension so my parents can retire in the states (So they can have job interviews / a house ready for retirement).

Alright, so I guess i'll get the computer here. Thanks again]]></description>

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

    	    <description><![CDATA[If you dont have to pay import taxes, buy in the US.
Without shipping and not careing for gurantee it would be cheaper for us europeans to buy in the US.

Mannheim is a "big" place. No idea how good the base or the surrounding area is connected, but i guess you will get at least a 2 MBit with fastpasth. Probably 25MBit VDSL.
Ping to the UK will be around 30-40 ms max. To the US eastcoast about 100-120ms.]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[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)]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[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?]]></description>
