    Far as i know you cant get barebone c90 from anywhere in Skandinavia.

    And if you get one from somewhere you then you cant find any MxM gpu's for it.

    Other than that you just have to go for E6600/2GB/GF8600mGT512MB/160GB.
    Ofcourse you can update cpu/mem/hdd after. (not gpu since you cant find them anywhere)
    (Costed 1300e in Finland)

    You can get an HDD or RAM from practically any computer parts store. For MxM graphics card look at www.1toppc.com. After that, I dunno.

    EDIT: I doubt ken would ship to Scandinavia, though =P, Google Product search "C90S upgrade."

    you can order all components from excaliberpc.com, i got mine from them and they are shipping internationally. ( I am here in Qatar. ) The only worry is, if something is defective, u need to send it back to them. ( hence, shipping charges again ). And yes, as mentioned earlier, u can easily order the RAM and HDD from almost any computer store and install them urself.
