I'm of the impression that overstock.com may ship to a number of countries, but they're not really clear about whether they ship computers outside of the US, etc.

[Djinni]

If I get a chance on tuesday, i'll do a "scan" of all the sites and see where they ship to. (Could use a hand for some of the non-english ones though ;-) )

Check on live chat, forums, email etc..

[Diber]

I'd definitely say add Canadacomputers.com to the Canada section. That's where I get all of my stuff (In store).

Dazmode.com is also related here, for people who want watercooling products (though that's all they do).

Making a list of a couple of sites for the netherlands (NL) and to where they ship, if i can find it

www.cdromland.nl --> ships to NL/Belgium
www.alternate.nl --> ships to NL/Belgium
www.afuture.nl --> ships to NL
www.komplett.nl --> ships to NL

This is just a couple of them. We got a lot of webshops/shops.
Best way for dutch ppl is to check www.tweakers.nl, for a pricewatch, reviews etc etc

[Drunkenvalley]

Definitely add hardware.no to the Norwegian list. It's not a shop by itself, but is a nice guide for finding all of your products.

Don't bother making a complete list.
Check the i7 2600K for example, 41 shops sell those online that deliver in the netherlands :P

ye i know, just picked 4. I mostly use cdromland, thats a good shop. And alternate is the biggest i think.
Other 2 are just randomly picked

41 ... is that all?

[Drunkenvalley]

Probably waaaaaay more out there. Also, Djinni, I'd annotate that hardware.no is a Norwegian site.
Also, this thread needs a sticky...

The aim also isn't to get them all :-) just enough of them to give people a good selection/choice of the better sites. If you're going to spend upwards of £200 / $300 on a computer, laptop, or otherwise, it's nice to know that the site isn't scaming you.

More importantly just having a start for where to search up parts is good.

only place you need to know if you are from Denmar is Edb-Priser

so you can remove the others from the Danish list

Thanks for listing, but saying you don't need another site is like eliminating competition. Just because you've had a great experience, doesn't mean someone else hasn't had a good experience with any other site. If we removed everything but NewEgg from the computer wholesale market, we'd see prices raise on all goods marketed by NewEgg, as they would develop a monopoly.

Edb-priser is a Danish website where ALL the Danish computer shops are listed. so you can see where it is cheapest to buy. therefore you only need Edb-priser. all the shops are there

Touche.
This post is too short, damnit.

So does it actually sell anything itself? or is it just a comparison site?

http://directron.com/ Another US
Can have some good prices, and some cool customization options

I just want to add a nod to Directron. The site is kinda ghetto looking and they don't have a huge amount of options, but what they do have is often a good deal and they frequently carry some neat stuff that is hard to find other places. Most importantly to me when I am ordering a lot of parts, they have some of the best customer service of any company I've ever dealt with, which is always nice when you have to RMA something.
