I would like to buy this one:
http://www.bitcoinstore.com/hp-proliant-microserver-658553-001-ultra-micro-tower-server-1-x-amd-turion-ii-neo-n40l-1-5ghz.htmlIt's also listed in my home country here:
http://www.komplett.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=649780I would really like to support the bitcoin economy, but I'm a little unsure about what to do.
1. If I order it from bitcoinstore, I will have to pay expensive shipping and VAT on the norwegian border (which I later can have deducted from my taxes). Ordering from them lets me support the bitcoin economy directly however, but if there's any issues, DOA etc, getting it replaced will take more time and probably involve shipping costs, also what warrany that's applicable I'm unsure of.
2. If I ordered through a local store, ie. a proxy and had somebody pay it for me, and give them bitcoins, would that still be considered supporting the bitcoin economy ?
It's a little dilemma, as I would like to order locally because of convenience and ease if there's any problems, while at the same point I would really like to support the bitcoin economy. I already sent komplett an e-mail asking them if they take bitcoins, but I haven't received any reply.
What's your take on this ?
Edit: Sent them (komplett) an e-mail today asking whether they would accept me paying with bitcoins. But I do not hold my breath..
