    I found a great price on a Clevo (Sager 5760) from a German company:
    2x16 GHZ
    2 GB Ram
    Nvidia Geforce 7900GTX
    120 GB

    for 2,000 euros including a 2 year guarantee and a one year 0 dead pixels guarantee.

    The problem is they only have a German keyboard. Now, my question is this- can I contact Clevo to get a UK keyboard afterwards? And if so, can I switch it easily?

    Thanks in advance,
    Daniel

    The only issue would be getting the keyboard and then changing your windows settings to reflect the keyboard change...Not sure if this is done automatically or not.

    No, it wont change automatically but u can do it manually, and it's pretty simple.
