Hi Lads

Good news. I found a reseller in Australia that is selling 300MHz R12K
systems with 512MB (2x256MB), 4GB, SSE, granite KB & mouse, and the
030-1467-00x motherboard. The asking price is 820USD per system and
shipping to the USA is approximately 180USD per system. They've indicated
they'll drop the price for a group buy,

Regards,
