You obviously just assumed the IOGear Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter is available in every country (DE, ES etc.) , it isnt. I am very curios and interested if some actually found this adapter in germany. thx

Sorry about that- that's one of the few specifics that isn't available everywhere- you could try this list for alternates:

Excellent!!!!

Thanks for adding Amazon's international online stores.
1. It saves a lot of time.
2. It avoids the danger of buying the wrong items - previously it was easy to get mixed up with different versions of motherboards, graphics cards, etc.

thanks a lot for the French. I'll buy my parts on Amazon.fr to help you

Brilliant this has helped me a lot. What do you think of the bitfenix ghost case?

The Gigabyte X79 UD5 is since end of Nov. 12 EOL.. So theres Worldwide no more Stock.
There are a lot of reports of failures in the PCB-Design.

Is there a reason that the Corsair Carbide 400R case isn't on the list?

I'm about make my 1st attempt at a Mini-Itx Customac, wondering if the Samsung 840 Pro or OCZ Vector SSDs will work ok.

Yes, those work just as well. I just built a MiniITX CustoMac for a friend and used a Samsung 840 series.
