Be European

>try to build my own server
>go to ebay to find old, but good and reliable parts that will still do the trick
>shipping $50 and import $20 for each part

t-thanks

why is Europe so far behind when it comes to PC parts?

also some guy in another city wants to sell his old stuff to me, but it's at retail price

fuck this goddamn shithole

What country

If you're doing that shit just use consumer level stuff.
Cheap intel dualcore, a 8GB DDR4 stick, PSU, storage, and you're done. Get a full sized mobo with lots of SATA ports though.

cute

Computer parts and specifically /retro/ parts are much cheaper in EU compared to the US, anyone who actively uses JewBay knows that.
Also, postage has no tax or import between countries, you can literary order something from 2000KM away from the other corner of the EU for 5€ postage.

So yeah OP, I have no idea what you did that you even mention a import tax.

norway

>Be me, european
>Find good server on ebay for 233,98€ with shipping

you need ECC, in order to use ECC, you need a processor that can handle ECC, in order to use a processor that can handle ECC, you need a motherboard to support the processor

why are you lying ? show me one site that sells these parts

X9SCM-F
E3-1230V2
16GB 2X8GB Memory RAM Intel Xeon E3 ONLY DDR3, 1600MHz, ECC, CL11, 2R, X8, 1.5V, Unbuffered, DIMM, 240-pin
Dell H310 6Gbps SAS HBA LSI 9211-8i P20 IT Mode
1M Mini SAS 4i SFF-8087 36-Pin Male to 4 SATA 7-Pin Splitter Adapter Cable NEW

all of that can be bought for $350 or less in USA

That's the cost of economic protectionism, OP. Crazy high import tolls and tariffs because screw globalism, right?

Maybe if you weren't a retard trying to buy one specific build.

That's like buying american cars in Europe where you have much superior european cars.

Hey anons, let's make a startup where we sell computer parts and don't charge for the shipping. It's gonna be a success!

Why would you order from US you utter fucking retard? Shipping is cheap and there is no tax if you order stuff from EU.

see

>you need ECC
>falling for the ECC meme

>350 dollar server
>4 core cpu
>16gb of ram
Just kys you dumb mongoloid, you deserve to pay $50 for shipping and $20 tax for each part.

do you even know what ecc is, dipshit

those parts cost 350 in the US, fucking retard

you must be living in a non-European Union country
ordering things constantly from american and european eBay sellers, european ones are much cheaper and I'm not even talking about posting

socialism

Is this some kind of joke? I bought a fully loaded Skulltrain machine a few years ago for 120€ on a local EU sales site
Two Xeons and 16GB (4x4GB) of ECC memory and a SAS tray with buffered PCIe controller

See
He already said he's not in a EU (as in Union) country

>be norwegian
>complain about prices
aren't you guys like super rich or something? oh nevermind, this is just a bait thread

nice proof

only CEOs of the oil rigs and the government are rich, you retarded fucking Sup Forumstard

Wait. They have computers in europe?

Enlighten me as to why you NEED it.

>transfer data to server
>server grabs data from ram and puts it in the drives
>meanwhile it did that, the data on the ram got a few bits flipped from 1 to 0s and vice versa

>nice proof
>implying everybody is a lying faggot like OP
Here's the board after a case swap into a smaller case, used just to run a few VMs as I already have a proper file server and this was years ago for that price.

where did you even find that for 120 euros?

What is "European"? Is Europe a country?

I see working dual Xeon servers from the turn of the last decade go between 50€ to 100€ all the time.
200€ and you can already get a few year old proper server. Those things are swapped out constantly and end up on the second hand market for almost nothing.

Seems pretty normal to me, I don't know what prices are in other places.

>be in european country that is not in eu
>get sent a package that's been paid for from eu
>have to pay 25% import fee
fuck me up senpai

>europe
>far behind because shit has shipping and import costs
then don't buy shit from out of the country you retard

this is not even a problem when you're in the european union only if you're a country in europe that's not in the european union

nobody sells cheap server stuff in europe

toasting in a bait bread

> for each part
You dun goofed, should've ordered a whole server.

Because "server stuff" generally isn't cheap?

There are plenty shops and fierce competition between them.
But quality costs money, and yes there are taxes.

...

Bare sånn d e

What is "Asian"? Is Asia a country?
What is "Africsn"? Is Africa a country?

>Americans are so rootless they dont even know theyre European

I'm chicano, puta, I'm no European-American. Those crackers can get right back on the Mayflower and go back to Europe anytime.

>want to get Topping D30 dac for ~120 USD
>can't find it locally
>using free aliexpress shipping I'm gonna be waiting monts
>want dhl I'm gonna have to add ~40 USD and still wait at least 2 weeks
O-okay... I d-didn't want it a-a-anyway

>buy shit on ali express

>arrives in 2 weeks

>pay nothing

why are you retarded

Last time I ordered from aliexpress from hong kong it took 2.5 months with free shipping. I don't trust it.

Also, why dou you have to be so insulting user? Are you having a bad day? Maybe a snack would help?

1. this is not even an insult here
2. stop living in a third world shithole, newfag.

So mean.

>233,98
>Tfw europoors can't use number systems

it's to protect against the "write-hole".
Use ECC + ZFS for maximu comfy

I constantly get stuff in less than 14 days from China, with free shipping.
Yurope.

>be Venezuelan
>want to upgrade my PC
>C2D E8400 costs $6
>2GB stick of DDR2 RAM costs $8
>can't afford them
just fuck my shit up

>chicano, puta,
>speaking an indo-european language

Get raped and kill yourself, you retarded fucking faggot sack of nigger shit with down syndrome.

Because you don't know what freedom is like.
Stay mad, Eurocuck.

Spanglish is the most retarded thing that South American expats regularly use.

This is where you all get wrong. Modern bleeding edge consumer grade items are more silent and powerful than throwaway Xeons from 5 years ago. For fucks safe all this openstack nonsense is meant to liberate the companies from specialized hardware.

>be third worlder
>read this thread
I hope you get raped

>Be Canadian
>Want to buy some computer parts from the US
>10 dollars import charge, 30 dollars shipping
>Same part from China, free shipping, no import charges.

What the hell is going in here?
