and on the EU comment, thats the same thing here. you can buy ddr2 pc parts for the price for new ddr4 components. people dont get paid a lot so they think that the hours and hours that they slaved over to buy that part 10 years ago.... is STILL worth that now.
unrelated to pc, but a 1990s economic car (palio from fiat) is still 1-2 3rds the price of a new car. it's just how this country works.
hell why do you think my pc did 2 years ago and i havent been able to buy something new other than this quite frankly nearly uselessand massively overprice laptop but it's what i could get.
edit....
to avoid double posting, it's 6:30am and my sleeping meds are FINALLY kicking in.. if i didnt say thankyou to everyone i would like to apologize and thank them now. it's much appreciated.
