    Can anyone point me to where I can purchase a UK keyboard for my Vostro 1500?
    Have just purchased it here in the States, but I'm used to UK keyboards and would prefer having one of them.

    You can purchase them direct through dell if you give them a call or you can check their spare parts site.

    Dell US weren't much help as they don't stock a UK keyboard. I've seen some on the internet, but for around £60 (~$120).
    Are spare keyboards really that expensive?

    Great, but I need one with the £ sign on and the @ key in the 'right' place...
