Buy it from the US over the internet and have it shipped in via UPS or DHC or
whatever.  I know some of these companies ship worldwide, including the
Netherlands.  http://www.pricewatch.com has plenty of cheap parts listed - I
could build a whole dual Athlon system for about $1500, including case, fans,
motherboard, processors, sound, video, LAN, hard disk, DVD...  If I had to have
it all shipped overseas, I'm sure it would be a bit more expensive, but not
anywhere close to $1000 more.
