Customs duty can be an unpleasent surprise when it kicks in, there are various threshold beneath which it doesn't apply. Not being an expert on Irish duty I have no idea if it's the same there, but I'd imagine it's at least similar.
The US is 110v 60Hz while Europe has allegedly standardise on 220v 50Hz. I'm pretty sure Ireland has dropped down from 240v to the European standard. Regardless a US spec power supply wouldn't be happy in Ireland.

Don't have a clue bout customs either. Regardless, I'll be buying the power supply in Ireland since the one I have my eye on is eur40 cheaper. The only thing I'm concerned about would be things like sound & graphics cards; if I buy them from the States, and plug them into a mobo bought in Irleand, running off an Irish power supply, would they be OK? Currently the cheapest GeForce 7800s available in Ireland are eur120 more than the cheapest in the States.
