They are nice but I cant seem to buy it in the UK, which means shipping adds a lot of money to the price.

lol, honestly I have no idea. I was just listing other options :) I don't spend a whole lot of time on the UK sites so I couldn't say who would be more expensive in the end.

on ebay you can get a 2.5ghz dell xps for just over £1000. Would this be a good spec?

Buying off of e-bay wouldn't be my first choice, but it would do fine. Too bad it didn't have the 8800's in it, they are leaps and bounds better than the 8700's.

I only posted that for the spec, but there is one with same specs but bigger harddrive and an 8800 in it for £1000 which is cheaper than the one I linked. Sounds like a good deal to me, but I dont know what they actually go for anyways.
