I'll look it up.  But it would not be that big a deal, it would apply only to things purchased, not sold, in your case.

So could I send a cheque to someone in Florida to buy the kit, and get them to send the peice of kit to me as a gift?

We would ship to the UK, but you would be responsible for dealing with your local taxes & duty regulations.

Also I'd guess the price includes US taxes, how does this "interact" with uk taxes (17.5%). After all I dont want to pay tax twice!

Our prices do not include any US taxes.  When you go to check out, applicable taxes are added.  We are only required to collect taxes (state sales tax) for certain states - those that we maintain offices in (Pennsylvania), and those that require all retailers to collect state taxes regardless of where the offices are (California).  The US has no federal sales tax.  So, only orders shipped or billed to PA or CA will have to pay sales tax (6% & 7.5% respectively), all others will not be charged sales tax.

Or simply is there a UK vendor who will build like spec systems? Would make life easier.

Honestly, that would probably be the easiest thing to do.

You could try KDH they are in the EU so you will not pay import duty. Prices seem quite good too.

It is probably easiest at the moment to order a board from Eyetech and build it yourself. I had no problems doing this :-) .

I thought about buying one from Eyetech and building myself. I'd only have trouble installing the linux stuff, but since I'm waiting for OS4 that's a mute point. (I hope!). However when I go to Eyetech's site I can't seem to find upto date info. The latest news is end of 2002! Perhaps I'm not looking at the right link/page?

Anyhow I remember seeing somewhere else mentioned that another company/site was dealing with selling AmigaOne stuff for Eyetech. Or am I imagining that? :-?

Give eyetech a ring.
See if they are still dealing.
Apparently some one in brum was supposed to take over as the UK retailer on the 1st of October, but it doesnt appear to have happened yet.
Eyetech will remain the world wide dealer distrubutor.
There is a copy of the Total Amiga article on amigaworld.net.
I imagine Eyetech would only be too happy to sell you one.
As for Linux it can be frustrating and has a steep learning curve but look at it this way at least you'll have another skill under your belt and you never know when that might come in handy.
Plus they're is loads of us now who can offer helping hands.
Come to the Bath show if you want to check out the A1 and OS4.

Hmm might look into the Eyetech thing. But most likely after I've seen stuff "in the flesh" as it where. Hence I am planning to go to the Bath show, (barring illness, alien abduction etc:-D)

As for learning Linux, well my head is like a FIFO buffer, the more I shove in one end, the more falls out the other! (example:Just had to relearn my A level maths since I forgot it! Doh!).
