Re: Talos™ II Secure Workstation Pre-Order
I'm seeing a price of $2,300 in the U.S. But the exchange rate is 1 US dollar = 0.852 euros, so that's only 1959€. Is that price including VAT? If not, they're gouging you. If so, your government is gouging you. Either way, have someone in the U.S. order it for you.
Re: Talos™ II Secure Workstation Pre-Order
AFAIK, the US prices are always without taxes. Don’t forget the import tax, you have to pay. For Germany 19%, if I’m right. You can try, to let send the POWER9 system from a private person to the EU. But if this fails, you have to pay also a tax penalty, AFAIK. Additional informations about the system: - E-ATX (12“ x 13“) mainboard - With the 3U HSF assemblies, noise is very low. - Power consumption of the POWER9 is far less than POWER8 - If you buy the Dual CPU bundle, the PSU needs a dual EPS 12V connector - no mini PCIe slot - No M2 slot - 1x OCuLink port (what is this?) - 6x 4-pin fan connectors on the mainboard - To provide maximal PCIe bandwidth for all peripherals, each slot is serviced by a dedicated CPU. As such, two CPUs are required to activate all PCIe slots Important note: Pre-order is required. They will watching the outcome of this preorder process, i.e. whether there is enough expected demand to expand further into OpenPOWER-based libre-friendly systems or if they end up going a different direction entirely. The shipping costs with „United States Postal Service Priority International" Single CPU bundle: 110$ The whole system cannot be delivered: „Shipper cannot accept package“ I think, I will pre-order the Single CPU bundle :-) > Am 11.08.2017 um 13:26 schrieb Chaos Wombat : > > I'm seeing a price of $2,300 in the U.S. > > But the exchange rate is 1 US dollar = 0.852 euros, so that's only 1959€. > > Is that price including VAT?

That "government gouging you" is called running a state and supporting society. It's the job of the vendor to come up with a good price with taxes included. > Either way, have someone in the U.S. order it for you. Which won't you help at all since the moment you bring anything you bought abroad into your own country you will have to pay sales tax. Adrian -- .''`.

Most of that money is wasted and a lot of it is used for antisocial purposes. I can use it better for the good of society than they can. I am not going to be terrorized by their threats of punishment into automatic compliance. Either way, have someone in the U.S. order it for you. Which won't you help at all since the moment you bring anything you bought abroad into your own country you will have to pay sales tax. I guess you aren't trying to think about how to do it successfully. End tangent.
