Well the problem is that Australia is not actually part of the USA. In fact
there is actually a whole wide world out there with lots of different countries.

Lets see ... $200US / .7525 = $265.78A + Import Duty + Shipping. Hmm I dont
think this is going to come in under $300.

The best price I have seen for that motherboard is $359.
