Bust Or Sometin ......How will That Happen Mate.....Do They Have Detonator Bombs Or Sometin?????

No ways Pal U system Will Perfectly BE compatible With Those Parts But yea No Guarantee Or warranty Will be Given If It is Illegally Shipped In......If Perfectly Authorised Hardware is purchased Then U can Send The Complaint To The Dealer Of That COuntry and May be They'll Do the Necessary Stuff (Which is a Long Procedure and a Big Pain In The )......So The Best Option Would Be To Purcahse One from our won country Or may be u Can visit any Custom Notified Shops For Puchasing These Foreign Stuff's......So Go Ahead Mate Purchase At Your Will 8)

OMG !!
now that im done lmao
let me see of i can explain
computer hardware work on FIXED voltages ...
thats 5v/12v
which ur PSU provides
so ahrdware will be compatible anywehre in teh world irrespective of voltage and frequency

the problem is the PSU itself
thats the one that u need compatible with ur countries voltage/frequency
so its very safe to buy hardware from abroad ... specially since its cheaper if u can get it past the customs

I have got my Maxtor 250gb HDD from New York.
There are a lot of rebate sale which happen some time there....
The HDD was brought and was shipped by my brother which is working for a hospital there.

It is very much possible that u can buy and use in ur home PC.

For mainstream products at standard retail prices, there isn't much difference between Indian and US markets, but there can be a considerable price gap with rebates, and also for new stuff. E.g., several years ago, when a 128MB PC133 SDRAM stick still cost 5-6k in India, I bought some sticks with Hynix chips from the US for the equivalent of 2.4k each. The average street price in the US at that time was about 3k for a no-name brand and a little higher for the big names.

The main thing that can go Boom! when a US product is installed in India is the PSU (SMPS) if it is shipped with the voltage selector at 115V and is plugged into an Indian power outlet. But I don't think that's what the OP meant
