Hmmmmm for items such as capacitors I'd be happy to pay a little for the convenience of being able to walk into a shop or make a phone call and say yep, i need this, this and this many of these and walk out the door with a chicken dinner, but I guess if it came to be a hassle to source locally anyway, ordering from Asia might still be an option. At the end of the day it's a hobby and I've got enough other projects, both computer and other-world to keep me busy such that waiting a couple of weeks for a shipment of caps for a Plus isnt too much of an inconvenience if it came to it.
