i wish the cost of pc stuff over here is the same in value as the US. but it isn't. to give you an idea of how much more expensive stuff is over here. a geforce 4 Ti 4600 is £300-350 over here. also, she can forget about overseas shipping from the US to the UK because she needs to pay 17.5% on top of what she would be paying as VAT.
