Gee dude you didn't have make a whole thread just to get that point across...lol...regardless a person can wait even it does cost more...that is if you really want the item. If i remember correctly you were the one with the beginning statement...i was just expressing my opinion on why i perfer the volcano 7+ over the volcano 7. There is nothing wrong with the 7 my friends uses it and claims it works just fine. For me it doesn't work well enough so i went a held off on the Volcano 7. I never brought up the subject on how i can afford the HSF and you can't. I simply stated why i perfer the 7+ the same way you stated you perfered the 7.
Anyways,......peace!
: peace2:

Hey Cyberthor could you please use the "Post Reply" button when answering to this thread instead of the "New Thread" button.
Also here in Australia the cost of parts is at least double that of the US if not closer to triple in some cases. :(

Reason being that when you use a bare finger it leaves skin cells behind

Not to mention, Touching the processor core, OR the bottom of the heatsink, is about 20 times as bad as spreading the grease with a finger. Just one touch leaves a relatively HUGE amount of skin oil.

Don't mis-understand Flaco. Currency exchange rates vary. Relative cost of things changes EXACTLY with relative amount of money EARNED.
So, 30 USD$ = roughly 50$ AU
If you went to a currency exchange with 30 USD$, and asked for some Australian money, they would give you roughly $50 AU. These exchange rates fluctuate slightly by the day, and are affected by MANY different things.
A person working a job in the US earning 30,000 $ would be earning roughly 50,000$ AU.
Only really destitute countries can actually claim that their cost of goods is double, triple or higher than cost of items in the US.
=====
While it can't be said that "Everything in the US is cheaper" it can be said that the US is one of the richest nations. Our poorest 10% of the population, still earn an average pay greater than 70% of the rest of the world.
Of course, China and India with their outrageous populations inflate that number out of proportions, with what we consider, "Non-third world living". Meaning that if Third world countries were taken out of the equation, we wouldn't be considered that much richer than the average country in Europe, as well as Canada, Australia, Central America, Japan, and Taiwan.
