Ive been wondering what hardware is hard to find is South Africa? Top of my head I can think of Alienware, Saitek and BFG. Any others anyone knows about and maybe where to get them? I know you can get Alienware easy enough from my site and PC Direct except for the waiting periods which are a bit hectic. But No clue where to get Saitek and BFG?

Pinnacle Micro supplies Alienware 
I also don't think that there's a supplier for Nexus stuff.
Just look at the front page of http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/ and ask yourself how many of those things have you seen in SA

If your idea is ti maybe import and sell these products, then it's really a good one.
I'd also love to see more Saitek products in SA.

Does anyone actually use Alienware? I thought it's just a nice-to-look-at-box

That's all it is. Normal over-priced parts in an Alienware (tm) chassis which costs billions. Whoop-di-do.

Pinnacle Micro for alienware as mentioned above. You wait a while as they are mostly build to order. One I got last last year took about 5 weeks, there was a delay with the new I7 processors but otherwise wait wasnt to bad.
