Things like processors etc. are sometimes 1/3 more expensive here than in Germany.
One such online store is Mind Factory, their prices are similar to US prices and you don't get the duty, tax, and warranty problems.

excellent ... Germany is generally my preferred choice when it comes to EU online retailers for other things (i.e synths, and amazon stuff). [1] shared currency [2] good consumer laws, which lead to [3] good after-sales service in the generally uncommon situation where there's a problem with the item.
i will definitely check out mindfactory! thanks for the tip

Newegg = Good selection of best products, convienient, fast shipping, good prices
Amazon = Lower prices, huge selection
Zzounds = Good prices, shipping, selection
GuitarCenter/Sweetwater = Best products, reliable
JRRshop = USA based, discounts, Uncle E. (Eric) manager found here on KVR
Tiger/Walmart/Bestbuy = Price beating, worse results though
