Hmm, that's about three times what I paid for mine. Admittedly, it was
filthy inside and the hard disk sounded like a bag of spanners but it's not
as if I don't have a can of foam cleanser and a pile of spare disks knocking
about.

Don't tell me trailing-edge consumer kit is one of the few things that is
actually cheaper in the UK than the US?
