I was wondering if any one can give me some suggestions of where to buy pc hardware in europe. My wife is in spain right now and needs a wireless adapter with awesome reception. I found this adapter which has some of the best reviews I could find. HAWKING HWU54D IEEE 802.11b/g USB 1.1/2.0 Wireless Adapter up to 54Mbps Data Rates 128-Bit WEP http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833164105
I can find it all over in the US but I don't know of any credible european online stores to try. I highly doubt it but an online store in spain would be the best, since she's staying in madrid. If I have to send it from the US I will, but I want to get it to her as fast as possible with little trouble. Skype and email are our main ways to communicating and Spain cell phones cost about 30US cents a min to call. I will pay a little extra because I want it there fast and I want trouble free customer service if it doesn't work. Are there any stores like newegg in UK/Spain/ Europe? or does anyone have a better suggestion?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't able to find the network I was looking for. I can't tell you I know frenh very good, but I did a search on USB and I couldn't find any thing that looked like the Hawing (HWUS53D)

I was able to find it at ebuyer.com in the UK for a good price.

Hawking HWU54D Wireless USB 54G Network Adapter

But, on Reseller Rating the have a 1.5 rating and most the comments are people telling to avoid them.

I was hoping I could find a cool store in europe that would be reted high in quality and customer and I don't mind paying extra for it. Man, I know it's a pipe dream, but I wish newegg.co.uk was the real site.:(

I know there's a lot of people from the UK on anandtech. Where does everyone get their hardware?

Getting very desperate. Costing me about 40-50$ in LD a day to talk to my wife. Plus this is her only way to stay in touch with her family and friend back in the US.

Please help!
Thanks
