I was interested in importing the Dawn of War complete collection from the UK. Will I have any problem installing and playing these?

No, PC games never have region coding. I buy games from the UK all the time thanks to GoGamer.com, the UK games are usually cheaper. I have also bought games from Thailand and I have had no problems.

Not as far as I know.

But there is region coding on certain Steam games. Several North Americans bought cheap copies of the Orange Box from the Philippines and had the game disabled by Valve.

Yeah, but the Steam thing is not really region coding but Valve being a bitch.

Yeah, but it might as well be. (actually, it's even worse since your game is invalidated)
