Where`s that quote from? I`ve just paid £490 for something very similar but without the TV out and Firewire. Oooops - just noticed no OS in quote; mine includes XP Home.

Oh well, I haven`t done too badly. Peaceful warrior`s quote doesn`t look quite so good, though I still reckon that`s not a bad price.

I got mine from here: http://www.europc.co.uk/cgi-bin/web.storefront/3fa3b0060012a986273fd43a3b3f0656/Product/View/76125
