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 <kickgz...@use.startmail.com>: > > 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?
