    Are there any out there, pref with pics.

    I'm looking to upgrade sometime soon and would like to do it myself but a wee bit worried about taking on such a task without the right info at hand.

    Does anyone know of where i can get a X9000 imported to the UK?

    eBay would probably be the place, or might try the NBR Marketplace also.

    Seen a shop from Taiwan for £288, just a lot of money to spend across the bay.

    You could link it, or just cut the www.
    The thing is, sounds a tad expensive, but hell, I ain`t the one paying :D

    In US it can sometimes be had for 350$...but then again, with added shipping and taxes, you`d get the same price.

    Auction ended anyway... :)

    The X9000 is the top one, yes.
    The ru-u would be the one with the expanded heatsink, but other RU users reported the X9000 working in it.
