I'm curious for Netherlands- what are the common places to acquire computer parts and living room furniture. When I visited Amsterdam and traveled to the surround areas, I personally never found many physical stores that there an equivalent to Best Buy for a furniture warehouse.

for the Netherlands, check out tweakers.net[1] for your computer parts (they have an extensive price guide that will show you which webshop has the best prices and delivery speed). If you need them in a pinch, MediaMarkt/Saturn usually has what you need at a premium.

for living room furniture... Most of it is from IKEA

Thank you. I've been building a startup in California and have been dreaming of moving it to Amsterdam. Been learning Dutch over the last year and been trying to find the best information on the most effective way to migrate over. :)

Google the Dutch-American Friendship Treaty. It makes it trivial for American entrepreneurs to move to NL
