Welcome back Jabba, I understand the feeling, I too was called away on family stuff, that is why I have not been around lately either. But, the new year is almost upon us and family responsibilities are now far away once again.

Well, I've just check the price on their site and adding everything up, came out to be 11k GBP. Now that's more reasonable.

Well I didn't take the time to double check all the prices, but if Jabba said it is 15k why not to believe him? did you consider shipping costs and so on? The monitors alone costed almost 1000 USD just to be shipped...

Jabba on the final note, everything is amazing, but that table wont do. I know it got to be a really good table, but it just does not fit into the picture. You need something biger. You need one of those huge semi circular ones. Anyway it's just a thought.

The monitors eventualy came in at £6,883 as Amex obvisouly uses a different currency conversion than the amount quoted to me.
In addition to the £6,883 there was also britsh import duty to pay @ 17.5 % (£1204) which brings the total for the monitors to
£ 8087
You will also notice from my pictures that the PC was also upgraded from the original spec and many extras added inc
All drives upgraded from 160 GB to 250 GB each, Extra Cooling, Upgraded sound card and speakers, A matrox quad output video card inc TV tuner, DV cables X 4, CD Writer, a 1000 Mbps switch and 5 network cards and cabling, wireless keyboard, high gloss black paint finish (PC, Keyboard and Mouse), various software and other bits and pieces.
So we have the basic 4 GHZ PC at
£5000
£2300 upgrades and extras
£8087 for the monitors
Total
£15,387
And I am not finished yet....

The mouse and keyboard are very nice painted in black gloss and carry a unique build logo.
