    Why should I buy or want something with less powa than 1080Sli ? + everything coming in from U.S or other places outside Norway border will have 25% Norwegian Tax on top. Everything over 40$ will have this Tax :oops: Clevo with Sli cost me under $4450 here.

    Ok Canadian custom does this (by this i mean they are a butt to the citizens) but I decided to delete the post after realizing its a really smart ass comment. The comment wasn't towards SLI vs Single GPU because it could lead into its own discussion example: I buy single external GPU and then wait 1 year then buy a 1180 that will cream your SLI. None of that.

    State it is "used"and yeah i can't comment on that, pretty sure there is a legal loop hole you could exploit example defected laptop? overheats so yiou bought it 2nd hand?

    Used, defective or new... Everything that costs over $40 will be thoroughly examined at the border. Only proper documentation from dealers abroad goes through the easiest way. Then will 25% tax be put on top(for both shipping and the parts). We have some of the world's largest bureaucracy. The reason is obvious. Taxes and fees are a high income source for Norway... Nobody will lose money :D

    I am a capitalist, I hate taxes and I think under Norway's system everyone loses. What I want is if the government charges me 10% flat income tax and depending on my income I have to give X% back to the community. This way I can pick which area of government my $$ goes to (if anyone is wondering I want all my tax money to go to NASA and after that healthcare then infrastructure)
