    Just a heads up for the UK/Euro guys.

    I see that the Novatech X80r has had some price drops (I guess they expect to start offering Montineva soon). The Blu-ray model looks like the best value.

    T9300
    8800M GTX
    4GB ram
    160GB HD (not so good but who cares, cheap to replace!)
    Blu-ray drive
    No O/S

    £1232 free shipping.

    Considering the 9800M GT isn't any better than 8800M GTX, and Montineva isn't such a big deal, some guys might be interested. This is the best value i've seen in any UK/EURO sager/clevo reseller.

    Regards

    Rock are offering something similar for £950 with a 7950 GTX, although I think the novatech is probably better

    No thats not similar at all. Not similar spec, and not similar value for money.
