    I dont think it is available in Europe. Atleast not yet. Not sure if it ever will be. You can import from the USA.

    i've been looking too :/ Reckon it will be cheaper to import directly from taiwan or wherever tho, just wondering if it will be hit by import tax. I've read (no idea how true) computer components are, or should be exempt, but full systems aren't...

    You need to pay the VAT (sometimes called sales tax or goods and services tax) for the UK. Also they will charge you a service fee for processing and handeling of the process. There shouldnt be any aditional tax.

    I was actually wonder this same thing too, I'm happy someone posted it before I did. A price would be nice I'm wondering if it'll still be cheaper than a Rock 770 which I'm edging more towards ... that and the 3% off for students :p.

    I had a reply, its probably going to be around September and £699inc to £2700 depending on how you want it configured. Quite a price range but if it does retail at £699inc i'll probably be camping outside their door!

    I'm feeling the Rock Xtrme 770 more than considering I was hoping for £500-600 for the barebones and September is cutting it as I need it just before then.

    Well that £699 isn't the barebones price... thats a fully configured, assembled and working machine, complete with an OS (Linux)
