I do live in the UK, I get the joys of "haha you don't live in the  
USA' tax for starters :)

Besides, I came up with the idea of using it to cross-grade my P4  
machine after I said that. Think that's definitely more of a goer. I'd  
just need 60-odd GBP for that board, plus 40-ish for a 2GB stick of  
DDR2. Jobs a good one. It's still 100 quid tho even at that.
