Hi,

I had originally ordered it from Digi-Key to the USA (with the view to picking it up there at some point) but they noticed I had a UK billing address, phoned up and declared they'd changed their minds and they DO ship to the UK now. (It was originally marked as export restricted!) So, they sent it via UPS courier to me for a total of £82+VAT (which works out about £10 more than the dollar price including $5 shipping to 'somewhere in the US'). Not too bad, I thought.
No, not too bad. I found http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail?name=296-23428-N... which seems to match at GBP81.95.

Of course it was an impulse buy and I don't actually have a use for it yet, but I figure something will occur... :D (MythTV/DVB MPEG2 player for upstairs over WiFi, or playstation emulator or something?) :)
I was planning to use one as a desktop PC. Given that all I ever seem to do on my desktop machine is play video, read email and surf web, there's very little I couldn't do on a Cortex-A8 at less than one watt, that I can do on this Mac at a couple of hundred...
This would also be my main interest. Kind of like a Koolu. http://koolu.com/Koolu-WE-Appliance/Works-Everywhere-Appliance.html
