    Hi All

    I really want to buy a NC6400 but I'm based in the UK and HP don't sell a machine with the configuration I want.
    I can go one the US site and specify the exact custom system I want (and its £50 cheaper than the lower spec UK on) but HP don't give an option t ship to the UK.

    My question is has anyone successfully managed this either through HP or a re seller? if so how.

    The spec I built on line is NC6400, T7200 CPU, 2gig ram, 120gig HD, ATi X1300 with 128 vram and a WXGA+ screen

    Many Thanks

    HP definitely will not do this. Your best bet is to try eBay.com, due to the expenses with shipping (at least $100 - $200) and then the tax they'll levy taxes on it at import into the UK so in the end it'd cost a bunch more I think so a £50 savings would quickly get wiped out.
