    Howdy, Just wondering if someone could lend some insight on why the SSD are significantly overpriced in AUS To Customize a SXPS 1640 from a 500gb 5400 rpm in the US is is $100 dollars, or $152 Aus.

    While in Australia it is $800 to upgrade.. Who do you have to sleep with to get a decent price ?

    Further more in Australia dell offer 2 differnt configurations of the SXPS 1640, one $1,999 and a second for $2,499, however if you chose the specs for the
    $2,499 model on the first one it ends up costing and extra $800??

    Any comments would be appreciated :)

    i think your best bet is to buy one separately, i mean if dell chooses to have it overpriced then its their choice to do so. maybe its a price mistake? call dell to make sure.
